First Edition. Single sheet, printed both sides, folded to make an eight-panel brochure. Near Fine. Radical right-wing tract issued by Courtney's "Conservative Society of America," whose initials C.S.A. were not coincidentally shared by the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. The CSA was nomiinally organized to fight communism in American politics, but Courtney was also a staunch segregationist, a perspective that clearly informs the current polemic, which warns: ".After the Black Panthers have taken control of the community schools and police, and have threatened - or killed - the responsible negroes into submission, they will claim to be the official NEgro leaders.If the Panthers gain community control, they will have military bases from which they can launch their attack on the rest of the United States ."

Condition: Fine. In March of 1969, eight members of the Black Panther Party (BPP) were arrested in Chicago, accused of conspiracy to incite a riot. In April, twenty-one BPP members were arrested in New York City and charged with a conspiracy to murder NYPD officers and bomb several buildings, including two police stations and the Bronx Botanical Gardens. The following year, BPP co-founder and former "Chicago Eight" co-defendant Bobby Seale was charged with ordering the 1969 murder of suspected FBI informant Alex Rackley. Offered here is a letter signed in facsimile by African-American activists and actors Ossie Davis and Dick Gregory seeking to raise funds for the Panthers' legal defense in these trials. The trials became a favored cause for the American New Left cultural figures from comic actress Peggy Cass and film director Robert Downey Sr. to author Norman Mailer and feminist icon Gloria Steinem appear as "sponsors" of the Committee to Defend the Panthers, which itself was formed by musician and composer Leonard Bernstein. Donations raised by the Committee would go to paying for "legal research, travel to interview and transport witnesses, court transcripts and other trial-related essentials." The letter warns: "Today the Panthers tomorrow it could be any of us. Our country cannot must not tolerate government vendettas against ANY group. Unless the tide of repression is turned, and fast, we had all better run for our lives. [] Unless these men and women can be assured of a fair trial, with a JURY OF THEIR PEERS, no man or woman in the United States can be sure of justice in court." In 1971, all members of the Panther 21 were acquitted;in 1972, all criminal convictions against the Chicago Seven were reversed, and Bobby Seale was released from prison with his charges dropped. Single letter measuring 8 x 10.5 inches, one single-sided sheet.

Collection of five vintage bumper stickers from the 1968 political campaigns run via a collaboration between the Black Panthers and the Peace and Freedom Party. Each of the stickers were made for various Peace and Freedom Party political campaigns, including: Mario Savio for California state senator, Black Panther founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, and Eldridge Cleaver for president, and two stickers simply advertising the Peace and Freedom Party itself. In 1968 the Black Panthers would move away from direct actions (including their legendary confrontations with the Berkeley police department) and briefly into the political sphere, when they joined forces with the PFP, a left-wing anti-war party advocating Black liberation, women's liberation, and LGBTQ rights. The campaigns were largely seen as political statements, as Cleaver was a convicted felon and technically ineligible for the presidency due to his being under the age of 35 by the time of inauguration, and as Newton and Seale were on trial at the time, repeatedly being denied their civil liberties. All items rare, each with original peel-off paper backing, and each between 4 x 13.5 an 4 x 15 inches. Near Fine and unused, with light soil on two of the stickers and rubber stamp for the "Lancaster County Peace & Freedom Movement Organizing Committee" on the verso of one sticker. A few of these rear peel-off panels have come loose due to dryness, but most are intact, and the bumper stickers themselves are unaffected.

[Black Panther Party][Black Radicalism] Newton, Huey P., ed. The Black Panther, April 22, 1972 issue documenting the Black Panther Party's media outreach connecting tenant organizing, community health, international anti-apartheid protest, prison defense, and reader mobilization within a single operational print network. The front page headline, "No Eviction, Free Repairs if You Were Your Own Landlord," paired with the placard "Berkeley Residents Demand Community Control of Rents," frames housing not as a private grievance but as a governing question, while interior headlines including "20,000 Blacks Vote to Control Hospital," "South Africa Is a State in the Union," "Black People and the Republican Convention, 1972," "Soledad Prison Killed Its Own to Get Comrade Hugo," and "Pig Fantasies Used to Convict Angela" show the paper coordinating local campaigns, prison cases, and international politics through one Party organ. What the issue shows happening is the translation of Party line into institutional action: rent control is described through charter provisions and public vote, hospital struggle through a Black community referendum, and prison cases through ongoing defense against what the paper calls "racist frame up" prosecutions. Newton, Huey P., ed. The Black Panther. San Francisco, California: The Black Panther Party, Saturday, April 22, 1972. Vol. VIII, No. 9. Large format newspaper issue. The cover carries the secondary line "Progressive Americans, Led by Panthers, Return From China See Inside Supplement." Inside, the housing feature states that Berkeley's proposed rent control charter amendment would create "A five member Rent Control Commission elected at large in Berkeley for 4 year terms," require that "No evictions will be allowed in Berkeley unless first approved by the Rent Control Commission," and insist that "All hearings of the Rent Control Commission on rent increases, decreases and evictions must be open to the public." The Winston Salem hospital article opens under "20,000 Blacks Vote to Control Hospital" and states that "20,000 in all" came out "to get proper medical care." Other photographed contents include Bobby Seale's anti apartheid article, with the captioned declaration that "The masses of Black people in the world.can be united around concrete survival."; the essay "Revolution and the White 'Left' in America"; the political analysis "Black People and the Republican Convention, 1972"; the Hugo Pinell defense article under "Soledad Prison Killed Its Own to Get Comrade Hugo"; the Angela Davis piece "Pig Fantasies Used to Convict Angela," stating "The State's 'case' is built completely on lies"; and a large subscription form headed "Subscribe to Survive." This issue is especially strong on the Party's use of print to present readers political analysis and active participation. Housing, health care, prison defense, anti imperialism, and electoral strategy are addressed as connected fronts of struggle, each with articles calling for collective action. Folded as issued with toning, creasing, edge wear, and small marginal chips and tears consistent with survival of large format newsprint; overall good condition. A strong single issue for showing how The Black Panther turned weekly journalism into a working instrument of community, political education, and mobilization.

[Black Panther Party][Black Radicalism] Newton, Huey P. The Black Panther, Vol. IV, no. 4, issued December 27, 1969, a vital organ of the Party disseminating coverage of police violence, legal defense, political education, prison solidarity, and community survival work in the immediate aftermath of the killings of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark. Rather than isolating those killings as a single event, the issue contextualizes their deaths among wider U.S. racial repression, providing investigative reporting along with chapter listings, speeches, and local programming, demonstrating how the organization moved information across local branches and a national readership. The result is a concentrated record of Black Panther Party print strategy at the end of 1969, when the paper served both as a news organ and as an instrument of coordination. The Black Panther. Vol. IV, No. 4. San Francisco, CA: The Black Panther Party, December 27, 1969. Folio newsprint issue. Masthead reads "Black Community News Service," priced at 25 cents and marked "Published Weekly." The cover carries a large photograph beneath quotations from political prisoners in Denver, with interior contents announced as "No Justice in Amerikka," "Statement to the P.R.G. of S.V. from Eldridge Cleaver," and "David Hilliard Speaks on B.S.U.'s." Interior pages shown here include "L.A. Pigs Condemn Peoples' Office," "Bill Green on the Condemning of L.A. Panther Office," "Political Prisoner Speaks to GIs," "Breakfast for School Children Programs," a substantial "List of Chapters and Branches of the Black Panther Party," "Speech by Charles Garry at Benefit in his behalf Dec. 19, 1969," "Seize the Time," "What is There to Investigate," "Lived a Revolutionary Died a Revolutionary" on Mark Clark, "Black Representatives Investigate Government Conspiracy," "Huey's Appeal" Part 16, "Pig, An International Language," Eldridge Cleaver's statement at the Embassy of the P.R.G. of South Vietnam, and David Hilliard's "Farewell and Criticism of Earl." The issue directly addresses the killings of Hampton and Clark and the Party's insistence that those deaths be understood as the direct result of state surveillance and persecution in response organized Black political resistance. Cleaver's statement extends that political frame outward into an international anti imperial context. Published only weeks after Hampton and Clark were executed by the Chicago Police in a raid coordinated wit the FBI, this issue preserves the Party's response of mourning, investigation, and mobilization while continuing to publicize its community outreach breakfast programs, campus activity, chapter structure, and legal advocacy. Overall good to very good, with minor marginal losses not affecting text, moderate toning, small chips and short edge tears, and handling wear consistent with circulated newsprint of this age. The combination of Hampton and Clark coverage, Cleaver's statement, and the printed national branch list makes this issue a precise record of how the Black Panther Party used its newspaper to connect local violence, national organization, and international politics within a single weekly publication.

Light edge wear and toning, minor creasing, and small chips at extremities; overall very good condition. A strong issue centered on California prison aid, Fred Hampton trial coverage, and Elaine Brown's Oakland political program at the opening of 1977.
