The Black Panther Party was founded 60 years ago ✊️ From a 2016 article commemorating its 50th anniversary: "The work of the Black Panthers remains important for several reasons. First, they remind us that the problem of police brutality has long been with us [...] Second, the BPP offers a good model of grassroots activism and ideology in practice." https://jacobin.com/2016/10/black-panther-party-fifty-year-anniversary-founding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_Party #history #BlackHistory #BlackPanthers #BlackPantherParty #OTD #OnThisDay
