Emory acquires archive of Black Panther Party activist Kathleen Cleaver

“The archive contains a wealth of information that is unique and not available everywhere due to the integral role she played in the Black Panther Party. These materials will significantly complement many of our related collections in the Rose Library and expand opportunities for more comprehensive research in social justice issues. We thank the Cleaver family for choosing Emory to preserve this cultural heritage.”.”
