Lee Berry, Black Panther in a 'radical chic' time, dies at 78
Lee Berry, a member of the Black Panther Party who was indicted in the largest case brought against that militant group, and whose personal plight helped inspire one of the most infamous New York City social gatherings, a fundraising party for the Panthers at the home of Leonard Bernstein that was mercilessly satirized by writer Tom Wolfe, died March 7 in a hospital near his home in Laurel, Maryland. He was 78.
