Queer Black Panther Ericka Huggins Speaks Out
Then, as part of our Queerly Defiant series, we'll rebroadcast of the June 23, 2020 premier of Part 1 of a stunning interview by Out-FM producers Bob Lederer and Stahimili Mapp with longtime Black Panther Party member, community educator/leader, and self-identified queer Ericka Huggins. She discusses her experiences as a Panther, including the FBI-instigated assassination of her husband John Huggins Jr. and their comrade Alprentice "Bunchy" Carter. both in their 20s; her 2+ years as a political prisoner (including months in solitary confinement); and the Panthers’ public support for the then-new Lesbian and Gay Liberation movement, and reflects on her hopes for the current-day uprising against racist police murders. (Tune into Out-FM on Tues., July 7 at 8 PM for Part 2.)
