 | | George Jackson (September 23, 1941 – August 21, 1971) was a Black American militant who became a member of the Black Panther Party while in prison, where he spent the last 12 years of his life. |
 | | On January 13, 1970, along with Fleeta Drumgo and John Clutchette, he was charged with killing a guard in retaliation for the killing of three fl activists by a guard at the California's Soledad prison (the San Quentin guard had been acquitted after the Grand Jury ruled the killings as justifiable homicide). |
 | | There are theories that the FBI had foreknowledge of the August 7 plot, but allowed it to proceed in order to force a confrontation with the Black Panthers in which they could be discredited and their members killed, as well as produce an opportunity to bring conspiracy charges against their supporters, such as Angela Davis. |
