Soul on Ice.[4]
In the most controversial part of the book, Eldridge Cleaver (ex black panther) acknowledges committing acts of rape, stating that he initially raped black women in the ghetto "for practice" and then embarked on the serial rape of white women. He described these crimes as politically inspired, motivated by a genuine conviction that the rape of white women was "an insurrectionary act".[4] When he began writing Soul on Ice, he unequivocally renounced rape and all his previous reasoning about it.[1][2]
Cleaver died of prostate cancer at age 62 on May 1, 1998, at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center in Pomona, California.[41][42]
