Pre-order the forthcoming book that Larry Gosset calls “the most authentic book ever written by a member of the Black Panther Party.” My People Are Rising: Memoir of a Black Panther Party Captain By Aaron Dixon With a Foreword by Judson L. Jeffries, author of Huey P. Newton: The Radical Theorist “This book is a moving memoir experience: a must read. The dramatic life cycle rise of a youthful sixties political revolutionary, my friend Aaron Dixon.”—Bobby Seale “My People Are Rising: Memoir of a Black Panther Party Captain is the most authentic book ever written by a member of the Black Panther Party. Aaron Dixon does a superb job of presenting life in the Party from the perspective of a foot soldier—a warrior for the cause of revolutionary change and Black Power in America. He pulls no punches and holds nothing back in writing honestly about those times (late 1960’s and during the 1970’s) as he successfully presents a visual picture of the courage, commitment, and sometimes, shocking brutality of life as a Panther activist. This is an unforgettable must-read book!”—Larry Gossett In an era of stark racial injustice and decisive action, Aaron Dixon dedicated his life to the struggle for change, founding the Seattle chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1968 at age nineteen. Through his eyes — in a memoir that begins with the story of his enslaved ancestors and takes us on a journey throughout America — we see the courage of a generation, and the unforgettable legacy of Black Power. Aaron Dixon was co-founder and captain of the Seattle chapter of the Black Panther Party and was aide to party officials in Oakland, California. He has worked with at risk youth for over 20 years in the Bay Area and Seattle and ran as a Green Party candidate in the 2006 Senate race. He lives in Seattle, Washington, and Albuquerque, New Mexico.
