Following the film, there will be a presentation by Bob Brown, organizer for the All-African Peoples Revolutionary Party (GC), co-director of Pan African Roots and the Kwame Ture Work-Study Institute and Library, as well as updates about the cases of the "Panther 8" and the "Angola 3."

Legacy of Torture, a new documentary that was produced in 2006 by The Freedom Archives to document torture used in the interrogation of members of the Black Panther Party in 1973, will be screened at the Belmont House in Washington, DC in the wake of the National Lobby Day to Close the School of the Americas (SOA). From the SOA Torture Manuals and from the War against the Black Liberation Movement to Abu Ghraib, the U.S. has a long history of state support for torture. The film is about five Black Panther Party members, who were subpoenaed in 2005 to testify in front of a federal grand jury, and who were jailed when they refused to cooperate. In January of this year, these five men plus three others were seized and charged with murder. They are currently being held on bond ranging from 3-5 million dollars.

Free the Panther 8!
