This photograph confirms that the Black Panther Movement helped African American com
out and say how they feel on African Americans being treated differently. The phrase Black
is Back speaks for itself. Willie Ford really captured the essence of what the Black Panther
Party was trying to do. This photograph compares to the next primary of the Black Panther
Party Platform because its the beginning of what the Black Panther stood for, meaning this
was just a start of what they want which is Black is Back. Also, this image helped me
further my knowledge on the Black Panther Movement. It told me the Black Panther Party is
a party who was for equality across gender lines.

Hamill, Robert H. Black Power and White Responses. Greensboro, NC, 1970-06.
This source is the Black Power and White Responses. The source told us what blacks were
doing in order to change social norms of black arent equal and how the whites responded
towards it. The White Responses gave us a different point view. The information of the white
responses did further our understanding of the topic because it give us information of how
the whites viewed it. All of the actions the Black Panther made had a reaction from whites,
meaning what they were doing was working. This compares to the Black Panther Partys
Platform because the wants and belief made whites feel uncomfortable and felt as though they
needed to stay something back

Members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and Stokely Carmichael
popularized the chant black power during June 1966. Martin Luther King Jr. believed that the
term black power had connotations of violence. Members of SNCC believed self-defense was
not only justified but wise and that blacks should form their own political party. In March 1965
no blacks were registered to vote and Stokely wanted to register as many blacks as possible.
Black domestic workers and farmers created their own political party in 1966 of March and the
Lowndes County Freedom Organization (LCFO) which symbol was a black panther. In
Oakland, California in 1967 of October the Black Panther Party was founded and patrolled the
way police treated blacks. Malcolm X had a huge impact on the Black Panther Party. This
movement is undefinable, the slogan black power was understood as a call of pride. This was an
uncoordinated and diverse movement.

In 1966 Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton formed the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense.
Blacks who felt the civil rights movement was not effective where they lived were quickly
attracted to joining this group. The Panthers believed in the principles of determination,
economic empowerment and protection. They offered help to educate those who lived in poor
and ignored areas. The Panthers are mainly remembered for their culture, belief in black power
and militant revolutionary activities. Bobby Seale wanted blacks to organize and retaliate
against racist police brutality and attacks. To some the Black Panthers were a huge threat. The
party primarily appealed to young, black, urban youth whose parents may have lived in the South
or had migrated from the South into urban areas. The blacks wanted to be treated with respect
and if they werent they were going to fight to receive it.

In 1965 members of the SNCC tried to overthrow the all-white power structure but failed. The
panther symbol indicates claws out, and sharp teeth that are ready to bite. The real Black Panther
Party was a group of utopian visionaries who wanted to serve the undeserved communities by
demanding housing, education and food. Some used violence but this was a complicated
organization that not everyone fully understood. In the beginning the FBI wanted to destroy this

organization by setting the group members up against one another. The Panthers responded to
police brutality with force and weapons unlike the Black lives matter movement which is going
on today and people are using phones.

The Black Panther Party was founded in 1966 by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. The purpose
of this party originally was to patrol police brutality in neighborhoods which were populated by
blacks. Gradually the party turned into a revolutionary group known as a Marxist which called
for the arming of African Americans. This organization rapidly spread and traveled into other
states & major cities. Blacks continued to suffer in many way such as social inequality,
economically and many more. Poverty also had a huge impact on the community by leaving
people jobless, health problems and poor living conditions. Around this time in the 1960s there
were many other things going on such as the civil rights movement, Brown V. The Board of
Education, urban uprisings which all contribute to police brutality because they were trying to
control how people have been acting out in cities.

The Black Panther organization has been very impactful for over five decades. Everyday
members of the party fought for equality and some are still fighting for it today. This group
came to be in a group where they studied Afro American Association. Social movements usually
break ground rules by using forms and techniques. Activists from the SNCC found their
foundation under Stokely Carmichael. The partys efforts to put an end to police brutality were
misunderstood by Americans. The idea of self-determination was appealing to Garveyite Earl
Little. They wanted freedom and the power to determine the future of their community.
Employment, decent housing and an end to robbery was also wanted. A good education,
freedom and equality for everyone, jury of peers, land, food a fit shelter, and more is what they
were fighting for. As they were trying to put an end to police brutality it was seen as a thre
