From Old Guard To Vanguard: A Second Generation Panther

By Malik Ismail

Malik Ismail tells the story of the New Panther Vanguard Movement (formerly the New African American Vanguard Movement), the only legitimate heir to the reins of the original Black Panther Party. This book is a general overview of the birth of the NPVM as experienced by Malik, a revolutionary activist and journalist in Los Angeles during the mid-1990s and early 2000s. Malik reveals the link between the original Black Panther Party and the NPVM as illustrated in their commitment to community service, revolutionary activism and collaboration with other regional, national and international social justice organizations. This memoir narrates the story of community and political action rooted in the powerful legacy of the Los Angeles chapter of the Black Panther Party. Malik also shares his published features on international travel, history, politics and opinions as a freelance journalist.
