The Revolution Has Come: Black Power, Gender, and the Black Panther Party in Oakland
"Tearing down myths and distortions on virtually every page, The Revolution Has Come is the first substantive account of the Black Panther Party’s Oakland chapter—the iconic gathering that birthed the party and held on to its very last breath. Robyn C.

G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination
