when Newton was released following conviction

in September 1968. Newton had been con-

California Appellate Court reversed the convic-

tion and ordered a new trial.

CLEAVER, ELDRIDGE.

Education and Revolution.

9 pages, 8vo, original pic-

torial stiff ochre wrappers, staples rusted.

San Francisco, circa 1968-1970?

Cleaver makes a clear Marxist argument for “Black Studies,” and educating the masses of African

Americans, saying that the school-books, and history books in general, must be changed to reflect the

truth of the African’s experience in America.
