The Weathermen and Black Panthers in the 60s - What I Learned From the Podcast

In episode three, you mentioned explicitly that in 1969 alone, police had killed 27 Black Panthers and had arrested 700 others. And one of the things that I learned from the podcast is that part of the strategy of the weathermen working with either Black Panthers or the Black Liberation Army was to take some of the heat off of them. "We have to be making noise in order to make the government pay attention to us," your mom told a crowd at an SDS convention when they were trying to decide how to go forward. She said she considered herself a feminist but thought the Panthers were important allies.
