12 nov 1966 - Foundation of the Black Panther Party

Description:

Black Panther Party is an African American revolutionary party founded in 1966 in Oakland by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. The party’s original purpose was to patrol African American neighbourhoods to protect residents from acts of police brutality. The Panthers eventually developed into a Marxist revolutionary group that fought for the arming of all African Americans, the exemption of African Americans from the draft (military service) and from all sanctions of, what they called, white America, the release of all African Americans from jail, and the payment of compensation to African Americans for centuries of exploitation by white Americans.
