 The Black Panthers

The Black Panthers were established in 1966

The Black Panther Party was founded in 1966 by Merritt College students Bobby

frustrated by persisting racial inequalities in police treatment, housing, education,
health care and other fundamental areas.

African Americans) from the police and other people who might want to hurt them,
that was a contribution to the U.S. civil rights movement.
