'It was really monumental in the process of minimizing racism in the jury selection process... so it, in a way, the trial put racism itself on the stand. And that had never happened before.'
The bronze statue of Black Panther Party co-founder Huey P. Newton will be the first permanent art installation to honor the party in Oakland.
"The biggest difference really is to have diversity... in the jury process, that in really every step of the criminal justice system, that the community has to be involved," Abrahams said."I was concerned about my progress," Harper said."I went to Arizona State, got an accounting degree. Kennedy became president. I said I'm just going to integrate."
"Before Newton, it was all for me," Harper said."I was not concerned about the community until Newton told me I should be concerned about it, that I was the arch enemy to Black folk by giving my skills away to the white community.""I wanted to go up in the major banking facilities and I gave that up to bring it back to the community based on what Newton had said," Harper said.
Herb Ferrette co-directed the film with Abrahams. Lise Pearlman and Abby Ginzberg co-produced the film. The film premieres at the 65th San Francisco Film Festival on Friday, April 22 at 6 p.m. at the Roxie Theater.
