History of Now: Life of Dhoruba Bin Wahad

From instructor Sheryl Harris:

In the most recent seminar, we studied the life of Dhoruba Bin Wahad, one of New York's "Panther 21." Dhoruba's upbringing in Harlem in the 1950s, rise to black consciousness and activism with the Black Panthers demonstrate the historical events and ethos of the radical 60's in narrative form, making it easy for students to imagine the culture of that time and to compare it to today.
