Black Panther Panel Thursday, October 25
Thursday, October 25, at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center, 388 9th Street, Oakland, there will be a panel about the Black Panther Party from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
Visit http://alpha.dickinson.edu/oha/pdf/2007finalprogram.pdf. There might be other programs your like to attend, such as the workshop on Stanley "Tookie" Williams on Saturday, October 27.
I encourage you to attend. I plan on attending it. If you want to attend a plenary or any other session at the Oral History Conference, the workshops are free. Mention Dr. Curtis Austin if you have any trouble; he said the community could attend the workshops without cost.
Here is a link to the "Legacy of Torture" video we didn't finish in the afternoon class. The film is about a case where the FBI and New Orleans police department used torture to extract testimony from BPP members, then used this information to charge them. The case was thrown out. Now since Bush passed the USA Patriot Act I and II, torture is legal and so is the evidence, or so they think. The men are out on bail. Their next court date is in December. Perhaps we can take a field trip to Superior Court at the San Francisco County Jail on Bryant.
