Former Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver

“I’m not going out of my way toward reconciliation with the Black Panther Party,” Eldridge Cleaver tells a brief press conference on August 13, 1976, when he emerged from Alameda County Jail. The former Panther Minister of Information, who fled the U.S. and lived 7 years in Europe and Africa in self-imposed exile, has been freed on $100,000 bail. (UPI Photo/CB/Files)
