In her new book [Comrade Sisters: Women of the Black Panther Party](https://t.e2ma.net/click/pu3j6g/95x6nidc/lvpucz), Huggins’s remarkable story joins those of the many women who formed the backbone of the Party.

Copies of Comrade Sisters will be available for purchase.
This event is held in conjunction with the current temporary installation [Kevin Beasley—Chair of the Ministers of Defense](https://t.e2ma.net/click/pu3j6g/95x6nidc/1nqucz). Huggins’s activism will provide a specific lens through which to explore themes Beasley probes in his installation.
