Black Panther Party  

Definition

  • The Black Panther Party was a black human rights and self-defense organization active in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. The passage of 1960s civil rights legislation following the landmark 1954 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. the Topeka Board of Education brought minimal economic and social relief to the masses of black people living in cities throughout North America.
