October 15, 1966 - Huey Newton and Bobby Seale formed the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense in Oakland, California. Its revolutionary agenda, and the fact that its members, all U.S. citizens, were armed, prompted FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover to refer to it as as "the greatest threat to the internal security of the United States."

60 anni fa venne fondato il Partito delle Pantere Nere. Questo #film del 1995 sente il peso degli anni ma ha il merito (con altri) di aver riportato nei #cinema tematiche e cifre stilistiche che non si vedevano dalla #blaxploitation degli anni 70. E il testimone è arrivato fino al movimento #BlackLivesMatter. Panther (ITA - Mario van Peebles) - Invidious https://invidious.tiekoetter.com/watch?v=7JnXgDe-6hQ

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."
