Comrade Sisters Panel & Book Signing

The role of women in the Black Panther Party has historically gone unacknowledged. It’s estimated that six out of ten Panther Party members were women. While regularly making headlines agitating, protesting, and organizing, these remarkable women were also building communities and enacting social justice, providing food, housing, education, healthcare, and more to the people. Comrade Sisters is their story.  

Join women of the New York Chapter of the Black Panther Party, Yasmeen Majid and Claudia Chesson-Williams, and Comrade Sisters co-author and photographer, Stephen Shames, in conversation about their Black Panther Party experiences and life after the BPP. Book signing to follow.
