This year marks the 45th year since the Black Panther Party was co-founded by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland. It’s About Time BPP is organizing events in the SF Bay Area throughout the month, with the biggest events this weekend, Oct. 21-23. Read the full schedule below.

Featured above is a new video-interview with Billy X Jennings by Angola 3 News, entitled “We Called Ourselves the Children of Malcolm,” featuring archival photos and more graphics, including the photo exhibit “Women of the Black Panther Party and Beyond.”

     In response to a peaceful anti-war protest, the Oakland
    Police Department uses large wooden bullets, sting ball grenades and
    shot-filled bean bags, as a result of which at least 58 protesters are
    injured. That was 2003, and unfortunately sounds eerily similar to
    reports of OPD’s response to an Occupy Oakland demonstration Tuesday
    evening, in which bean bags or other projectiles appear to have been
    fired directly into crowds and multiple rounds of tear gas were used.
