  • It's About Time…
    It’s About Time… Volume 5 Number 4 SPECIAL ISSUE Fall-Winter 2001 EDITOR’S NOTE: In celebration of the 35th year anniversary of the founding of the Black Panther Party (BPP) - 1966 to 2001, we changed our paper format. We are dedicated former BPP members and supporters whose aim is to educate and inform the community about the legacy and principles of the Black Panther Party. We have the opportunity and responsibility to place our own experiences into his- torical context. The history of the BPP cannot be told by one person or group, our experiences and work are so varied. Since the first issue of our newsletter, we have interviewed many former members and support- ers from Oakland to New York, from Africa to France. Inside this edition will be basic historical infor- mation about the BPP with photos, along with current news briefs and statements of support. Unless we former members do otherwise, the legacy of the Black Panther Party will be largely ignored, dismissed and distorted by today’s commentators and tomorrow’s historians. We need to tell our stories and the stories of those of us who we lost or who remain imprisoned. Dare to Struggle, Dare to Win! THE WORLD CONFERENCE CELEBRATING AGAINST RACISM Some Dangerous Political THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY Thoughts 35th Anniversary of the Founding By Lorenzo Komboa Ervin The Fight for Reparations 1966-2001 The theme of reparations for the illegal trans-At- lantic slave trade and the enslavement of millions of Africans in the “New World”, and for European colo- nialism of the African continent was a predominant theme at this conference.
