The Black Panther Party... It's Complicated
Many citizens of the United States have no idea of the legacy of the Black Panther Party or the contributions they made to society. Many believe that the Black Panther Party was a militant group that was also primarily a gang, that’s a lie. It was a social group designed for the protection and elevation of mostly Black citizens, but was open to everyone. They, and their history, is well… complicated.
