I recently found in our library a children's biography of J. Edgar Hoover from 1974. Of course, I immediately looked in the index for Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, COINTELPRO. . . and not surprisingly, none of them were there. So yeah, I was happy to find a book for kids that mentions the Panthers. I always like to bring them up as an example of a "well-organized militia" when I'm talking to 2nd amendment nuts. An entire book for kids about the Panthers would be an interesting project. Hmmmm. I was so thrilled to find this book (via the Excelsior File review) a little while back.
