3:38Now PlayingAlbert Woodfox — a former political prisoner who was held in solitary confinement for 43 years — met members of the Black Panther Party as young man and describes seeing their work in the community. “For the very first time in my life, I saw black men and women who had no fear. This fear, I couldn't sense it, I couldn't feel it," he says. Woodfox went on to establish the first chapter of the organization at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola, Louisiana, to address horrific conditions at the former cotton plantation.
