Many people today could easily identify who Martin Luther King was or Malcolm X. Their work and teachings were very well known back in the sixties as well as they are today. But if we ask ourselves about the Black Panther's, the answer is a little bit different. They were an organization that truly applied most of the concepts that both Martin Luther King and Malcolm X where fighting for and that eventually would succeeded. Yet when the Panthers membership and popularity rapidly declined in the eighties, they almost were completely forgotten and shelved by the media. Much today is said about many American civil rights leaders, especially Martin Luther King and Malcolm X but many historians and educators purposely scrap the BPP (Black Panthers Party) because it is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) blimps in U.S. history to show the world that such racism and inequality existed not so many years ago in America, the very same country that was raising the issue of democracy and equality in the UN non-stop to pressure other countries (especially the Eastern Bloc of communist countries) while its own citizens were being denied those rights and privileges that all Americans were supposed to have. The question that we all must ask ourselves is why did the United States government and its other agencies did not tolerate blacks and immediately put a stop to racism instead of trying to suppress the Black Panthers instead. We should all know the truth on what the BPP stood for, what actions they took and how the U.S. government under the direction of the FBI brought the BPP down.
The Black Panther's were an organization that stood up for the rights of all blacks in America who were oppressed by the various governments inside the United States that were supposed to serve them instead of brutalizing them. Oakland, California is a good example of this were many blacks were brutalized by the police on a regular basis until the BPP stepped in and fought back with force.
