My First Lesson About Race from the Black Panthers - Jamal Joseph

From The BLack Panthers To ColUmbia University- A Lifetime of REsistance Jamal Joseph David Fenton met Jamal Joseph in 1970, two days after Jamal was released from Rikers Island. They were both 17 years old. Jamal had just spent ten months in jail as one of the Panther 21- charged with a bombing conspiracy that turned out to be built entirely on planted evidence and FBI infiltration. He'd be acquitted of every charge. Jamal is now a graduate Film Professor at Columbia University. Fifty-six years later, they sit down for the conversation on what the Black Panthers actually did. Jamal discusses COINTELPRO, Fred Hampton, teaching Tupac karate, nine and a half years spent in prison, founding a Harlem youth theater that earned an Oscar nomination, and why every movement leader who began organizing across race and class was killed when they did.
