50 years ago the Black Panther Party organized a rally on the New Haven Green to protest the trial of nine party members who were being tried for accounts relating to the murder of Panther member and suspected FBI informant, Alex Rackley. This 8-part series features firsthand accounts by living Panthers, their lawyers and descendants, who reflect on what the government was really after—an end to their Revolution.
