Though this is the third volume in a series exploring the Black Panthers, it can be read as a stand alone. The picture Jeffries paints in this book goes beyond the political movement most people associate with the group and offers a more philanthropic side. As a Puerto Rican, these actions--feeding and clothing those in need, and even providing health care--reminded me of the Young Lords movement. Both groups went beyond just being a civil rights movement and became through its humanitarian efforts became about human rights.
