TBT: 50 years ago today, the Black Panther Party brought together more than 5000 young activists from all over the US for the inaugural United Front Against Fascism conference. At the conclusion of the three-day conference, attendees committed to starting a new organization, called the National Committees to Combat Fascism (NCCF) - likely the first national anti-fascist youth network in the US. Less than a year later there were NCCF chapters in at least 18 cities.

On this day, 6 September 1966, Mozambican-Greek anarchist Dimitri Tsafendas assassinated the architect of apartheid, South African Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd by stabbing him during a parliamentary session. Tsafendas was at the time working in the Parliament building. Previously a member of the South African Communist Party, anti-apartheid leaders distanced themselves from Tsafendas after the assassination. Found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity, he was instead sent to a secure psychiatric hospital, and not released after the end of apartheid. He died in custody in 1999.
