He worked for years in San Francisco to advance the goal of Afro-American Unity. Cleaver was a charismatic leader and speaker, and formed alliances between the Black Panthers and Students for a Democratic Society, the United Farmworkers of America, and the anti-Vietnam War movement. He also founded the International Section of the Black Panther Party, giving voice to the struggle of Black people all over the world for autonomy and social liberation. This sequel to Cleaver's Soul on Ice provides a critical perspective on his life, and on the Black experience in the mid-twentieth century. Near Fine / Near Fine. Item #000012851
A touch of toning and wear to the jacket, overall a crisp and sharp example.
