The Black Panther party is a group that raised the bar of radicalism and resistive politics, while influencing society far beyond what many expected from its small cadre of members. The Black Panther Party practiced militant self-defense of minority communities against the U.S. government, and fought to establish revolutionary socialism through mass organizing and community based programs.
