The Black Panther Party

Founded in 1966 in Oakland, Calififornia, the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense was one of the era’s most influential and controversial movements. Its members confronted politicians, challenged the police, and acted, they said, in self-defense to protect citizens from brutality. Some leaders connected the Black Power movement in the United States to the Black nationalism and liberation movement in Africa and the Caribbean.
