DVD: Legacy of Torture - The War Against the Black Liberation Movement

$20.00

On Jan. 23, 2007, after a two-year witch hunt by local, state and federal police, six former Bay Area Black Panther Party organizers were arrested: Richard Brown, Richard O’Neal, Francisco Torres, Ray Boudreaux, Hank Jones and Harold Taylor.

Two well-known political prisoners, Herman Bell and Jalil Muntaqin (Anthony Bottom), part of the New York Three who were falsely accused and convicted of killing two New York City policemen, have also been accused and indicted. John Bowman, the ninth target of the two-year-long grand jury witch hunt, died in December.

This Freedom Archives DVD documents the torture of several of the arrested activists—Bowman, Jones, and Taylor—at the hands of the New Orleans Police Department in 1973. The video also captures the level of police brutality, assassinations and abuse suffered by the Black community during the 1960s and 1970s.

The Freedom Archives, 28 minutes
