The book is about Humour, Wit, & Satire of the Seventeenth Century. “Party like it’s 1699” was added by me. The images have been edited by me to remove the background colour, it has been desaturated and the tone darkened.

Description: The Black Panther Party fought against police brutality, promoted activism that organized, educated and fed their community while being mercilessly hunted by the FBI. While the Panthers fought against police brutality, they also invested heavily in community organizing and aid. Their free breakfast program fed thousands of hungry kids before school; they set up health clinics, child development centers and food pantries. They handled pest control, gave away coats and shoes in the winter, and started a free bus route to prisons for people to visit their incarcerated family members and loved ones.
