This April 1968 issue covers urgent political and racial issues in the wake of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination. The front page reports on a planned march against racism, highlighting police violence and systemic oppression of Black communities. It includes a call to action from the Peace and Freedom Party and Black Panther Party members, urging continued resistance and political organization.

A lengthy interview with Eldridge Cleaver, Black Panther Party Minister of Information, dominates the issue. Cleaver discusses the relationship between the Peace and Freedom Party and the Black Panthers, Black political self-determination, the role of white radicals, and strategies for revolution and self-defense. He critiques electoral politics while emphasizing the necessity of coalition-building.

Ironically, the front cover features a political cartoon depicting the tombstones of Malcolm X and Dr. King, alongside Huey Newton, then incarcerated and assassinated in 1989.
