DESCRIPTION:An evening celebrating the first book to tell the story of the women of the 
 Black Panther Party with contributions by over 50 women Party members, 
 including Angela Davis, Fredrika Newton and Barbara Easley-Cox.\n\nEricka 
 Huggins, an early Party member and leader along with Bobby Seale and Huey 
 Newton, has written a moving text, sharing what drew so many women to the 
 Party and focusing on their monumental work on behalf of the most 
 vulnerable citizens. Most importantly, the book includes contributions from 
 over 50 former women members-some well-known, others not-who vividly recall 
 their personal experiences from that time. Other texts include a foreword 
 by Angela Davis and an afterword by Alicia Garza.\n\nComrade Sisters: Women 
 of the Black Panther Party combines photos by Stephen Shames, who at the 
 time was a 20-year-old college student at Berkeley. With the complete trust 
 of the Black Panther Party, Shames took intimate, behind-the-scenes 
 photographs that fully portrayed Party members' lives. This marks his third 
 photo book about the Black Panthers and includes many 
 never-before-published images.\n\nAs an activist, former political prisoner 
 and leader in the Black Panther Party, Ericka Huggins has devoted her life 
 to the equitable treatment of all human beings, beyond the boundaries of 
 race, age, culture, class, gender, sexual orientation, ability and status 
 associated with citizenship. For the past 40 years, she has lectured across 
 the country and internationally. She spent 14 years in the Black Panther 
 Party, and eight years as Director of the renowned Oakland Community School 
 (1973-1981).\n\nStephen Shames has authored over 10 monographs, and his 
 images are in the permanent collections of 40 museums and foundations. His 
 work is dedicated to promoting social change and sharing the stories of 
 those who are frequently overlooked by society.\n\nFree\n
