For too long the Panthers' story has been a footnote to the civil rights movement rather than what it was: a revolutionary socialist movement that drew thousands of members--mostly women--and became the target of one of the most sustained repression efforts ever made by the U.S. government against its own citizens. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRevolution in Our Time\u003c\/i\u003e puts the Panthers in the proper context of Black American history, from the first arrival of enslaved people to the Black Lives Matter movement of today. Kekla Magoon's eye-opening work invites a new generation of readers grappling with injustices in the United States to learn from the Panthers' history and courage, inspiring them to take their own place in the ongoing fight for justice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKekla Magoon\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Library\u003c\/i\u003e and many other fiction and nonfiction titles for young readers, including \u003ci\u003eX: A Novel\u003c\/i\u003e, cowritten with Ilyasah Shabazz; the Blue Stars series, cowritten with Cynthia Leitich Smith and illustrated by Molly Murakami; and \u003ci\u003eRevolution in Our Time: The Black Panther Party's Promise to the People\u003c\/i\u003e.
