[4] Op. cit., p. 4. There is of course a large literature challenging the very existence of “recovered memory” such as Aptheker is claiming. Cf. Frederick Crews, “The Revenge of the Repressed,” parts I and II in Crews, Follies of the Wise, 2006, pp. 91 et seq. In composing this portrait, I have suspended judgment on this issue because what is germane is not the truth of the memory but the use to which Bettina Aptheker puts it.

[57] An account of Jackson’s prison career can be found in James Carr, Bad, 2002. Carr was a member of Jackson’s prison gang and the Black Panther Party. When he was released he served as Huey Newton’s bodyguard until he himself was murdered, many suspect by Newton.
