Black Panther Party. Southern California Chapter
Scope and Contents
Black Panther Party, Southern California Chapter. Three pages of text, on two long mimeographed pages, stapled at the top;
second page somewhat toned with a small chip from the top of the page, not affecting the text. [Oakland, circa 1969.] A treatise
on the politics of art, written by Huey Newton and representing the entirety of those involved in the Costa-Gavras film
Z, a group which included Yves Montand, Irene Pappas, Simone Signoret, and others. Costa-Gavras had lent a copy of the film
to the Black Panthers to use in fundraising for legal defense efforts. Newton states: "Art must be and in fact is, a world
that exists outside of reality."
