Description
KTVU News report from April 1968 featuring scenes from a press conference by Black Panther Party members Bobby Seale and Kathleen Cleaver who are commenting on the killing of Bobby Hutton by Oakland P.D. on April 6th 1968. Seale expresses his conviction that: "They literally murdered Bobby Hutton." Cleaver states that: "It is my opinion that this is the latest in a series of attempts to liquidate the leadership of the Black Panther Party. At first they moved against Huey P. Newton ... and they are well advanced in framing Bobby Seale ... and now for the first time they have moved directly against me. Shooting me and attempting to kill me. I think this is a calculated plan that been carried out."
