Soft cover. Condición: Good. 1st Edition. PACK RAT was the underground newspaper published by the Berkeley High School Student Union (BHSSU) to advocate for radical educational and societal reforms. Using the typesetting machines at the Black Panther Party's national headquarters in Berkeley, the students covered antiwar activities, racial discrimination, women's liberation, student rights, and other contemporary topics. When the BHSSU tried to distribute the paper on campus, its members were suspended. When the BHSSU's activities expanded beyond Berkeley, the Federal Bureau of Investigation opened a file on the group in June 1970, which was closed when the students graduated.
