The Briar Patch

Murray Kempton

300 pages

On April 2, 1969, New York City policemen rounded up members of the Black Panther party. Thirteen of 21 suspects were then charged and tried for attempted arson, attempted murder, and conspiracies to blow up various police stations, school buildings, and the Bronx Botanical Gardens. "The Briar Patch" brilliantly examines the proceedings, illuminating not only the history of the Panther 21, but the quality of justice in America.
