Eldridge Cleaver

Eldridge Cleaver (Leroy Eldridge Cleaver), 1935-98, African-American social activist, b. Wabbaseka, Ark. Growing up in Los Angeles, he spent much of 1954-66 in prison for various crimes including rape. In 1966 he joined the staff of Ramparts magazine, and soon became a member of the Black Panthers . In 1968 his book Soul on Ice made him famous. The next year, fleeing arrest following a Panther shootout with Oakland (Calif.) police, he began a period of exile in Cuba, Algeria, and other points, during which he broke with the Panthers. After his return to the United States in 1975, he espoused a wide, even bizarre, range of political, religious, and commercial causes.
