The Black Panther Party (BPP), originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, was a Black Power political organization founded by college students Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton in October 1966 in Oakland, California. The party was active in the United States between 1966 and 1982, with chapters in many major cities and international chapters in Britain and Algeria. Upon its inception the Black Panther Party’s core practice was its open carry armed citizens’ patrols (“copwatching”) to monitor the behavior of officers of the Oakland Police Department and challenge police brutality in the city. From 1969 onwards, a variety of community social programs became a core activity. The Party instituted the Free Breakfast for Children Programs to address food injustice, and community health clinics for education and treatment of diseases including sickle cell anemia, tuberculosis, and later HIV/AIDS. It advocated for class struggle, with the party representing the proletarian vanguard.

The book provides a moving account of successful nonviolent resistance in the 1955-56 Montgomery, Alabama bus strike amid the burgeoning civil rights movement.

Handwritten manuscript reads in full, ”(I meant the paragraph in place of first sentence of sentence paragraph 12A) / Only E.D. Nixon the signer of Mrs. Parks land – and one or two other persons were aware of the arrest when it occurred early Thursday evening.

Martin Luther King TLS Re: South Africa 1965
Martin Luther King, Jr. typed letter signed to leading African anti-apartheid fighter, Ronald Segal. Single page letter composed on Southern Christian Leadership Conference stationery and datelined Atlanta, 8 September 1965. In part: “I am in receipt of your kind letter inviting me to serve as a sponsor of your International Conference on Economic Sanctions against South Africa As you know, I am deeply concerned about the whole South African situation and I seek to support every creative effort to bring pressure against the governments of south Africa and South West Africa to end the long night of man’s inhumanity to man. For this reason I will be happy to serve as a sponsor of your conference” It was only fitting that King’s activism, so effective in America, should come home, so to speak, to South Africa, where Gandhi’s non-violent resistance struggle began. “More and more,” King told reporters in London in December 1964, en route to Stockholm and the Nobel Prize ceremony, “I have come to realize that racism is a world problem.” Ronald Segal, then editor of the Penguin African Library, was a native South African and a leading anti-apartheid fighter in that country. He fled to England in the aftermath of the Sharpeville massacre in 1960, and the government’s crackdown on the ANC and other activists. He was the organizer of the International Conference on Economic Sanctions against South Africa. A fine association of King with a leading figure of the British and South African anti-apartheid movements. Letter measures 8.5″ x 11″. Slight toning to side edges. Overall excellent condition. Sold for $5,060.
