“This podcast is one of the very best I’ve had the privilege of listening to. As a mother and so-called radical, this story hit me like a gut punch—especially when hearing from the children of the revolutionaries. Especially well-done in its nuanced approach to issues of race, revolutionary...”Read full review »

“What a great show, it brought back so many memories. My father worked for the “Citizens Action Committee”, he helped poor people of all races to get housing and jobs in the late 60s early 70s. He was also from Chicago and was familiar with some of the revolutionary people spoken about in this...”Read full review »

“In an attempt to showcase multicultural support for civil rights, we somehow created a whole series glorifying white contributions (some of which were terrorist acts) that supported of the downfall of the Black Panthers. A masterclass in saviorism, I left disappointed to have listened to this...”Read full review »

My family was saturated with Jewish intellectualism and socialist interests. This felt familiar, but not. These people were a different generation. Their specific...”Read full review »

“My mother lived in fear in the 70s that I would take off and become a hippie, yippie, or a member of some domestic terrorist group.

“Enjoyed hearing this well told story. While I find many things to admire in the movement and the struggle, there still seems to be a disregard to the lives taken and how the victims in those families had their lives ruined. Lastly, the idea that the recall of Chesa was led by a right wing...”Read full review »

“…and of course heartening. No mention of Panthers in prison as the pod wound up was a bit puzzling. For their self-critique, commitment, discipline and self-sacrifice, the legacy for their nearest and dearest is predictably messy. Hopefully others, less hurt, can take inspiration.”
