Change was coming to America and the fault lines were no longer ignorable — cities were burning, Vietnam was exploding, and disputes raged over equality and civil rights.

The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense would, for a short time, put itself at the vanguard of that change.

Publisher: Spin Magazine / Death to the Klan!Year: 1986Call Number: Volume Number: FallFormat: ArticleCollection: John Brown Anti-Klan Committee (JBAKC)
The September, 1986 issue of Spin Magazine hit the newsstands with this shocking expose of the police cover-up of the KKK's responsibility for the Atlanta child murders. The facts outlined here represent the basis on which attorney William Kunstler is attempting to overturn the murder conviction of Wayne Williams, the Black man framed and convicted for the Atlanta child murders. Death to the Klan is reprinting the article in its entirety in this special edition. We believe the growth of organized white supremacist terror and police complicity with it are issues of importance all people committed to fighting racial violence.

San Francisco State: On Strike
Ethnic studies courses are common today, but that hasn't always been the case. In many ways, multicultural education can be traced back to San Francisco in 1968-1969. In one of the most high-profile student actions of the 1960s, students at San Francisco State University went on strike, shutting down the campus for six months. University president S.I. Hayakawa called in the police, who busted heads and arrested hundreds in an attempt to restore control of the campus. But the strike didn't end until the school acceded to student demands and created the first ethnic studies department at an American university. This film, shot by the students and their allies, is a classic primary source document of the 1960s.
