On Jan. 23, 2007, after a two-year witch hunt by 
local, state and federal police, six former 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.



We'll be discussing what we can do to help build 
solidarity here in Los Angeles for the SF8.

As usual at IAC meetings, childcare available - please call to let us know.

Refreshments available.
