"This Child Had a Right To Live" Black Panthers Anti-Police Brutality Broadside" shot 12 times in the back by three Oakland police officers",

Black Panther, Police

Broadside

Black Panther broadside calling on citizens to attend a hearing on police misconduct in response to the murder of 15-year-old Melvin Black by Oakland Police in 1979. 11" x 8.5" inches. The broadside states that Black was "shot 12 times in the back by three Oakland police officers", "had no weapon", the district attorney "ruled the murder 'justifiable homicide'", and the three police officers are "still on the job drawing their salaries." Forensic reports concurred with the statements made by Panthers, contra the police narrative that he was pointing a weapon at them, and this event was a public outrage and the City of Oakland settled in a civil suit brought forth by Black's mother. Very minor foxing along upper edge. Overall in very good condition.
