	Black Panther Party
		Black Panther Theory: The practices of the late Malcolm X were deeply rooted in the theoretical foundations of the Black Panther Party.
		From the tenets of Maoism they set the role of their Party as the vanguard of the revolution and worked to establish a united front, while from Marxism they addressed the capitalist economic system, embraced the theory of dialectical materialism, and represented the need for all workers to forcefully take over the means of production.
		Panther Eldridge Cleaver begins the movement to "Free Huey", a struggle the Panthers would devote a great deal of their attention to in the coming years, while the party spreads its roots further into the political spectrum, forming coalitions with various revolutionary parties.

		Cleaver’s influence in the party increased when Newton was arrested in October 1967 and charged with murder in the death of an Oakland police officer.
		By the end of the decade, according to the party’s attorney, 28 Panthers had been killed and many other members were either in jail or had been forced to leave the United States in order to avoid arrest.
		This attempt to shift the direction of the party did not prevent further external attacks and internal conflicts, and the party continued to decline as a political force.

		The Black Panther Party for Self Defense was barely a year old on the night Newton landed in Highland Hospital with a bullet in his stomach.
		The Black Panther Party's paramilitary style fed a false assumption that all its members were men, even though women went on the early patrols and were part of all subsequent activity.
		The party Newton had founded and inspired continued to attract brilliant leaders, and by the time of his release on appeal in 1970, over forty chapters of the Black Panther Party, including offices in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, and New Orleans were operating.

	WHITE PANTHERS' "Total Assault on the Culture"
		The White Panther Party grew to become a professedly political organization that was dedicated to the confrontational strategy of "a total assault on the culture by any means necessary." Its formation during the fall of 1968 owed much to both local and national influences.
		In fact, the WPP was originally conceived as "an arm of the Youth International Party." The naming of a "Central Committee" demonstrated Sinclair's penchant for Yippie-inspired theatrics, with positions such as "Minister of Religion" and "Minister of Demolition." 46 Ibid., 101.
		The impact on the WPP of Sinclair's incarceration was enormous, and the situation soon went from bad to worse.

		We believe that if the white American businessmen will not give full employment, then the means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the community can organize and employ all of its people and give a high standard of living.

		In keeping with this motive, “the official party uniform—fl leather with a matching beret—was selected with an eye toward fashion and the traditional ghetto status symbols.” [14] However, it was the gun that provided the most significant “status symbol” in the eyes of the community.
		The guns thus figured in the Panthers’ “staging” [18] of the revolution in three important ways: fl men were finally on equal footing with the police, able to defend themselves from brutality; police were intimidated and backed off; and the community of fl onlookers was empowered by the individual act of defiance.
		Newton sat in the wicker chair in full Panther regalia, holding a spear in his left hand and a shotgun in his right.” [21] The African cultural symbols were an acknowledgement of fl pride and nationalism, while the spear and the shotgun were reminders that the time for empowered action had arrived.

		While some members of the party were guilty of criminal acts, the group was subjected to police harassment that sometimes took the form of violent attacks, prompting congressional investigations of police activities in dealing with the Panthers.

	Introduction
		Though the party’s appearance at the legislature in the ostensible purpose of protesting the Mulford Bill actually influenced many assemblymen to vote in favor of the bill, [4] the greater issue at stake this day was publicity.
		For most whites, Sacramento had been “invaded” by “evil fl desperadoes,” [8] while to the fl community, the act was a remarkable and unprecedented demonstration of defiance.
		The battle for control of such interpretations characterized the entire existence of the party, and the Panthers’ emergence as a popular topic of the mass media would dictate and direct the widespread perception of their activities for the next twenty years.

		After Newton took over as "Supreme Commander", the White Panthers were taken over by "Pun" Plamondon while it's Chairman John Sinclair was serving a 9 and a half to 10 year prison sentence for giving a narc two joints of marijuana.
		It should be noted that in Marin County, the White Panthers there refused to change their name and follow Plamondon and Sinclair's Rainbow People's Party they didn't want to be "respectible hippies" in the words of Ann Arbor's Ollie Bishop (who will always remain a legend in my mind).

	John Sinclair Papers Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Deeply influenced by the Black Panther leaders Huey Newton and Eldridge Cleaver, Sinclair (with Pun Plamondon) founded the White Panther Party in November 1968, serving first as its minister of information and later as chairman.
		Sinclair began to write for CREEM; the original Warren-Forest Sun became the White Panther Information Service's Sun dance; and the Ann Arbor Argus, which had begun independently under the editorship of Ken Kelley, was mobilized as a semi-official White Panther party organ.
		Chaired by Sinclair, the Rainbow People's Party embraced Marxism-Leninism as its guide to action and concentrated on building a strong local political organization to promote the revolutionary struggle for a "communal, classless, anti-imperialist, anti-racist, and anti-sexist...culture of liberation..." Sinclair's energies for promoting cultural change, however, were soon to be more heavily channeled through another origination.

	John Sinclair - Biography - AOL Music
		After setting up a similar communal situation in Ann Arbor, Sinclair followed the lead of the Black Panther Party and created their counterpart, the White Panther Party.
		A thorough investigation into these years of revolution was chronicled by Sinclair in his book Guitar Army, originally published in 1971 and featuring many sections written while in prison.
		Following his release, Sinclair hesitantly got back into music management and promotion, despite feeling burned by the MC5, who had discharged his services immediately when he went to prison; they dropped the White Panther rhetoric, made two more albums, and self-destructed in 1972.

	MC5 - Biography - AOL Music
		Alongside their Detroit-area brethren the Stooges, MC5 essentially laid the foundations for the emergence of punk; deafeningly loud and uncompromisingly intense, the group's politics were ultimately as crucial as their music, their revolutionary sloganeering and anti-establishment outrage crystallizing the counterculture movement at its most volatile and threatening.
		Under the guidance of svengali John Sinclair (the infamous founder of the radical White Panther Party), MC5 celebrated the holy trinity of sex, drugs, and rock & roll, their incendiary live sets offering a defiantly bacchanalian counterpoint to the peace-and-love reveries of their hippie contemporaries.
		Although corporate censorship, label interference, and legal hassles combined to cripple the band's hopes of mainstream notoriety, both their sound and their sensibility remain seminal influences on successive generations of artists.
