black panther party called in to negotiate a settlement

With the riot at Attica State Correctional Facility worsening the prisoners ask to speak to the Black Panthers, William Kunstler, the Nation of Islam and the Young Lords among others. Bobby Seale and Elbert “Big Man” Howard were among the Panthers there. They negotiated a peaceful resolution which was undermined by Gov. Nelson Rockefeller who had aspirations beyond mere Governor.
