Black Panthers return

Jerry Jackson, a member of the new Black Panther Party returned to a polling place in North Philadelphia today –the scene of a national controversy four years ago when another member he was with brandished a large nightstick.

Jackson stood outside of that polling place on Fairmount Avenue near 12th dressed in all black, again today. He said he had received information that there would be voter intimidation at the polls.

Jackson who said he is also a committeeman handed out ballot information Tuesday morning.
