Black Panthers Platform: Takin it to the Streets

"The king spoke to the evening crowd where more than 250,000 people gathered" (Garo). The civil rights movement peaked in the 1950s and 1960s. Martin Luther King, Dr. Malcolm X, Rosa Park, Coretta Scott King, Panthers and American protest against apartheid take a first step to prevent racial discrimination from spreading to future generations It was. Written by Alexander Bloom and Winnie Brinis, Panthers is a necessary book to spread the light to the black community, introducing the daily lives of African Americans under the government of racial discrimination. .

Panthers met for the first time in a club meeting at Peralta Street in West Auckland in 1966. Shortly thereafter, Panthers agreed with Newton's "10 point plan" and considered it a party platform. This platform is radical and socialistic as Newton understands the work of Mao Zedong and other socialist revolutionaries. As shown in the third and sixth points, the platform protests against compensation for racial discrimination, inequality, and slavery in the United States. The black violence in South America from the 1940s to the 1960s combined these behaviors and the black power movement was born. Specifically, events such as attacks on freedom riders and attacks on Robert Williams in North Carolina will create works like "Negros and Guns" that will continue to influence the formation of Newton.

In October 1966 the Panther Party enacted their rules and regulations. They are called 10-point platforms. The point of the platform is that they believe that Panthers should be able to choose their own destiny, the government should hire everyone to support themselves and their families. Panthers refused to fight for the government who did not regard them as a full citizen of the United States. This will greatly reduce the number of soldiers. The Panther party may seem to be fighting the United States, but I do only what I think is right. The big difference between the Black Panther Party at the time and the other black nationalist groups can be seen in the Communist American plan: for them the home country is not America but Africa.
