Jane Meyers Introduces the oral history interviews she performed of Ben Waddell, Wilbert Hauser, Henry Wallace, Ibrahim Fardan, Joe Rush, and Trunnell Price. She thanks Tom and Marilyn Ross through the San Diego State University Library Dean's Excellence Fund for supporting the interviews. She summarizes the history and purpose of the Black Panther Party in San Diego and the United States as a whole, including the efforts of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, to infiltrate and cause the Party to dissolve. She speaks a little about the 50th Anniversary celebration in 2016 of the founding of the Black Panthers in 1966 and how it has caused a "resurgence" of the Party "as advocates for the community."
