Today in history: Wayne Pharr and other Los Angeles Black Panthers defended their office from a five hour siege by one of the first LAPD SWAT teams 49 years ago, on Dec 8th 1969. Nine Lives of a Black Panther tells the gripping tale of the shootout and Pharr's story of survival.

Rest in power Wayne Pharr. Let's remember his actions in 1969 tomorrow and how everyday Black people have stood up, resisted police brutality, and survived throughout history. #BlackLivesMatter #BLM @MillionHoodies #BLM

Pt 2: "The continuing militarization of police forces is a reminder of my encounter in 1969, the 5-hour battle we had with the newly-formed L.A. SWAT team at 41st and Central. It becomes a matter of principle, our right to self-defense.” @panthersdoc @BlkHistStudies @BLMLA

The battle between the LA Panthers and LAPD tomorrow in 1969 was a critical part of the national war against the Panthers and the birth of the movement to militarize law enforcement that has swept the country. #BlackLivesMatter #BLM @NMAAHC @panthersdoc @latimes @BLMLA

Tomorrow marks the anniversary of the historic struggle between the LA Black Panthers and the LAPD. As the movement for Black lives faces retaliation from the same state forces that persecuted the Black Panthers, it is crucial we remember L. A Panther Wayne Pharr's life. #BLM

Tomorrow is the day of the L.A Black Panthers shoot out with a LAPD SWAT team, a rare victory against police repression. Wayne Pharr recalls
“For those five hours, I was in control of my destiny… I was my own power at that particular point and time.. I was a free negro" @NMAAHC

@StanleyNelson1 It means that people opened up their homes to fight the ignorance & bigotry that just won't die. Especially in the U.S.

[GoudaInThePolentaIsFeta @VGatua]

@StanleyNelson1 somebody had to rise up to the call and try to make a difference. Everyday every where in the world we need Black Panthers
