 It's About Time: Black Panther Party Legacy and Alumni

It's About Time is the best online source of information about the national activities of the Black Panther Party. It includes a substantial section on the Seattle Chapter with some photographs and pamphlets. Most importantly, the site includes two chapters from Aaron Dixon's unpublished autobiography, Memoirs of a Black Panther: Chapter 11: The Panther Emerges (.pdf file)  and Chapter 12: The Panther Comes to Seattle
