how do you come from alabama to a black panther party? >> think it was about generation.d to narrow that movement. we tend to think of it only as civil rights movement, but there were those of us in the '60s who felt as if we needed to go further. we listened to malcolm x. we were also influenced by fidel castro and che guevera and patrice lamumba. we were thinking about transformation and we were thinking about freedom in the largest possible sense. >> so many of the memories in the public of the black panther party are with people standing around with gun, but there were programs. there were ideas and there was so much going on other than men toting gun, right? >> oh, absolutely. as a matter of fact, initially i would say the guns were more symbolic of resistance which isn't to say that members of the black panther party didn't have weapons. i had weapons myself at that time. it was a different era, but as you point out the black panther party had all kinds of programs. as a matter of fact, free breakfast program that is run by the department of agriculture. that idea e

and did all the times' coverage of the black panther or party. the court in the caldwell case decided that reporters had to appear before a grand jury who were investigating something about the, about the black an they are party -- panther party, and the reporters had to testify like any other citizen would have to testify. and reporters had no first amendment protection against compelled disclosure of their sources. even if that meant that the sources would dry up, not cooperate, and that would ruin a reporter's ability to report to the public what the sources knew. and, again, the background details about the case are in the book. when the court refused in youth it miller's -- judith miller's case in 2005 to reconsider this whole situation, that made it crystal clear that reporters can't honestly promise their sources confidentiality. would-be whistleblowers with sensitive and embarrassing information about government malfeasance simply can't trust that a reporter won't be subpoenaed to spill the beans about who leaked the information. somewher

>> i started as a lawyer working on the case but geronimo pratt, a black panther case. that ended up after 27 years to be proven. and we have learned that law enforcement' officers had good evidence or statutory evidence, let people commit perjury, said in the room and -- sat in the room to destroy evidence to convict someone who was innocent. and that is how i started my career as a lawyer. when i started that case, i began thinking this was a big conspiracy to frame this man. what i learned is -- and i discussed this with geronimo -- we are experiencing men and women who thought the end justified the means. they thought they had a bad man and it was ok to do anything necessary to convict him. as i look back on my career, present and future, i think we see that that is the concept that runs through police misconduct. i am sure there are officers who were just bad, let's say. i think officers see what they consider bad people, and they feel like they have to do what ever it takes to convict them. and i have seen it when i was a young lawyer, when we had narcotics teams,

i grew up with the black panthers doing peace and freedom benefits for them.o on the one hand i like the softness of spirituel the day, but i also like the energy that you need to be a warrior where you need to be. i love martin luther king, but also malcolm x, sometimes you have to really hold your ground. compassion, kindness, education. rather than more killing. >> when you graduated in 1965, it was the height of the civil- rights movement. you just alluded to the environment that you were growing up in. as a young musician, what was it like for you in san francisco at the time? >> it was heaven on earth. we would go down to the fillmore and see these great band, the doors, and jimi hendrix, cream, and then go down to the grove to see other music. you could go to the mission district to hear mexican. everywhere i went there was this multi dimensional color and i felt like it was on necessary for me to do just one. like baskin-robbins, i want all the flavors. you cannot just be a mexican play music. there is a lot of beauty in that, but it was not for me. i

as a matter of fact, the black panthers threatened me many times. they caught me in an elevator at the palmer house in chicago and said, "we know that you are with martin luther king, but we want you to be on our side. and if you're not going to be on our side, when you come to harlem we will get you. " and of course . scared to death with these four beautiful strapping men, you know, pinning me up against the wall for the wrong reason. (laughter) ek: you don't say anything. (laughs) absolutely quiet. and when i came to harlem to do the apollo theater, they were there when i was doing speeches on behalf of martin luther king and trying to . they were ridiculing me, of course, and they threatened that they would get me again. but i stood my ground and walked from the seventh avenue theresa hotel to, all by myself, back to the apollo theater, as slowly as i could, doing the window shopping. and . no matter how many words they threw at me, i stood my grounds and no harm was done. q: this is a show largely about free expression and the first amendment.

because what they do, the black panther party and fred hampton, they did a critique of capitalism and that's one thing that happened -- when you listen to all the speeches and malcolm that's what they started to do and the evolution was a critique of capitalism and what you start doing that, that's where the danger happened and our scholars -- our black scholars, they don't really do that. you know, you talk about black nationalism and this, a critique of capitalism is very dangerous. >> i mean, it's a worthy comment in the context of talking about manning marable whose politics -- i think part of his anxiety was black nationalism is precisely he understood his politics, rooted more in a black socialist tradition. now, i will say -- i want to ask manning, well, how do we do this? i was a graduate student and i was trying to get a job in the academy and one of the most powerful things manning ever did was teach me how to get what i needed from this institution. financially. people don't talk about it at all. they just act like you should get a job and be happy. manning you ask for this

you did not have 900 channels with a john berk society channel, you know, and a black panther channel. the media were controlled by mostly northern elite, white males and certain things could be expressed. so william f. buckley jr. and george will expressed the right but you didn't have the equivalence of some of -- you did at the local level. there was the county guy with the radio show who is the demagogue. you had a homogenuity, for the most part the breakdown was welcomed. there is this kind of chaos now so that things which always existed these divisions are now being expressed the way they weren't in the past. the idea i'd like to float before wrapping up is that the end of the cold war may have un corked a certain amount of ranker in american politics. if you go back to the politics where we faced no foreign threats, after the end of the napoleonic wars, the world tore itself apart in the civil war. and the napoleonic wars where the jeffersonians and the hamiltonians said we need to repress this division in order to survive in this war of world and states. if you go back to the
