Ammos Controversial "Black Panther Table Book"
Ammo books will be releasing a Black Panthers
table book, that will feature of over 140 unreleased
flicks, just like the Huey P. Newton pic above that
was snapped of the leader while imprisioned.
It's expected 2 cause much controversy-NOW THATS WHATS UP!!
Kathleen Cleaver, wife of Eldridge and a
coordinator of the "Free Huey" movement.
In the ’60s, Life magazine had photographer
Howard L. Bingham on what he calls “riot retainer.”
He cut his teeth shooting the destruction of his own
South Central L.A. neighborhood. He documented MLK’s
funeral and the ’68 convention in Chicago. That same
year, Life sent him to Oakland to live among a mysterious
group of militant radicals, the Black Panther Party.
Bingham and journalist Gilbert Moore—one of Life’s
two black reporters—spent months earning the Panthers’
trust, only to have the magazine kill the story.
“I had no intention of writing a puff piece,
trying to make them come off like Boy Scouts
in leather,” writes Moore. And so the candid,
intimate photos — of Eldridge and Kathleen Cleaver,
a jailed Huey Newton, and Bobby Seale—were never published.
