This protest was enough to push the black panthers into general knowledge. Adam winkler, law professor at ucla and author of gunfight. And here to talk about the overall legacy of the black Panther Party, one of his foreign leaders. Erica huggens. Before our conversation, first a look back at that day, 50 years ago. People in this court and the people in the legislature have not been acting like human beings, theyve put trumped up charges of conspiracy and felonies on everyone who went in to exercise a constitutional right. Instead they had no right to bear arms in a public place. The Second Amendment of the constitution guarantees the citizen a right to bear arms on public property. The legislat
