Description:

This recording is an actuality, including interviews, of events on May 2, 1968 surrounding a bus trip made by the Black Panther Party from Oakland to Sacramento in support of Eldridge Cleaver. The recording was made by KPFA volunteer Denny Smithson, who rode on the bus with Party members and press. The trip began at the Alameda County Courthouse where Bobby Seale appeared at 9:30am. Smithson reads a telegram from Jesse Unruh, Speaker of the Assembly. The bus then traveled to Sacramento, where the Panthers demanded the reinstatement of Eldridge Cleaver's parole. Includes interviews with Kathleen Cleaver, Communications Secretary of the Black Panthers and wife of Eldridge Cleaver, and Leonard Glaser, co-chairman of the Legal Defense Committee for the San Francisco Peace & Freedom Party.
