"The Black Panther Collection: 1968-73" is a single large paperback collection. This is one book containing high-quality, professionally-scanned reproductions of carefully selected Black Panther newspapers spanning the years 1968-73. The Black Panthers were a notorious New Left student activist group during the 1960s counterculture movement, and their underground newspapers were the main source of correspondence to other members.

Although the Party emerged from black nationalist movements, ultimately, the Panthers condemned black nationalism as "black racism" and became more ideologically focused on socialist revolution without racial exclusivity. They instituted a variety of community social programs designed to alleviate poverty, improve health among inner city black communities, and soften the Party's public image. The Black Panther Party's most widely known programs were its armed citizens' patrols to evaluate behavior of police officers and its Free Breakfast for Children program.
