Framing the Panthers in Black and White
Annie Goldson, Chris Bratton
Framing The Panthers charts the FBI’s covert campaign against the Black Panther Party, focusing on the story of one of its targets, Dhoruba Bin Wahad. A former Panther leader, Bin Wahad spent 19 years in prison as a result of COINTELPRO, the FBI’s Counterintelligence Program, which was designed to destroy political activism in the 1960s and 70s. On evidence of government misconduct, his conviction was overturned in March 1990 and he was released from prison on bail. In December of 1991, however, the New York State Appeals Court reinstated his conviction. Dhoruba Bin Wahad now faces further imprisonment. http://www.vdb.org/titles/framing-panthers-black-and-white
