Firehouse 51, 410 James Street, Modesto CA (map)
On
April 2nd, 1969, 21 members of the Black Panther Party were arrested in
New York and charged with conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism. The
trial lasted two years and represented the culmination of attempts by
the police to disrupt organizing being done by the BBP. The arrests
also set in motion a country wide crack-down on the Panthers. Gerald
Smith, a former member of the New York Black Panthers discusses the
case, now over 40 years later, and talks about how revolutionary
movements must deal with police repression. He will also speak on the
growing movement across California against police violence.
