The Black Panther Community Newsletter featuring Nathanial Clark,

killed by “counter-revolutionary elements.”

Issue #6. Two long mimeographed

pages, printed on rectos and versos; photographic images on front cover and inside; stapled

Los Angeles, 22 September 1969

[600/900]

Nathaniel Clark, Jr., a nineteen year-old Black Panther, was described by Panther attorney Charles

Garry as having been “killed by a police agent.” But in fact he was killed by his wife, who told investi-

gating officers that she had shot her husband in self-defense with his revolver after he had, in her words,

“shot up with heroin and beat me.” Because of her age, seventeen at the time, the case was remanded to

a juvenile court, which adjudged the death to have resulted from involuntary manslaughter.
