Gwendolyn D. Pough. Empowering Rhetoric: Black Students Writing Black Panthers.

Pough, Gwendolyn D. "Empowering Rhetoric: Black Students Writing Black Panthers." CCC. 53.3 (2002): 466-486.

Abstract:

This article examines Black student responses to Black Panther Party documents and how those documents moved the students toward change. I maintain that by allowing the classroom to function as a public space in which students can discuss the issues that matter to them, teachers can help to foster and encourage student activism and ultimately their empowerment.
