12721053, How many of the original leaders are still alive? Posted by Atillah Moor, Fri Feb-06-15 05:42 PM
I always thought it was absurd that the KKK with a proven track record of violence is still around, but the Black Panther Party is gone.

12721056, I just painted a mural with Emory Douglas and others Posted by rawsouthpaw, Fri Feb-06-15 05:48 PM
in revolutionary Zapatista lands in Chiapas, Mexico for the 20th anniversary of their uprising. Dude is still reppin with his powerful art, still making prints, and still upholding the legacy here and abroad. Building and throwing down with him was one of the richest weeks of my life.

12721065, Did you see the film? Posted by bentagain, Fri Feb-06-15 05:52 PM
I'm waiting to see it, but I'm assuming it's only showing at Sundance for now
I always wondered if anybody took the time to trace the bloodlines of known clansmen
and then see where they've integrated into society today
sort of a reverse finding your roots
so and so was grand wizard, blah blah blah
then find his great grandson in present day working for the local PD
