There's a myth going around. The myth that Black revolutionaries of past are no longer living or have retired from the fight for liberation. But this isn't the truth, as today's guest proves. A best-selling author and former Black Panther who served as a leading member of the party’s Compton branch, we're having a conversation with Robert Lee Johnson about the Black Panther's impact, the continued work, and BPP organizing strategies we can still apply today as we travel the path towards Black liberation.
