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's \u003c\/b\u003eyoung adult novel \u003ci\u003eThe Rock and the River\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the Coretta Scott King\/John Steptoe New Talent Author Award, was the first mainstream novel for young people to feature the Black Panther Party.
