  • Urging the National Parks Service to Establish a National Parks Unit in the San Francisco Bay Area to Honor the Black Panther Party for Self Defense
    Page 1 of 8 CONSENT CALENDAR January 19, 2021 To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Councilmembers Terry Taplin (Author) and Ben Bartlett and Mayor Jesse Arreguin (Co-Sponsors) Subject: Urging the National Parks Service to Establish a National Parks Unit in the San Francisco Bay Area to Honor the Black Panther Party for Self Defense. RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution calling on the National Parks Service to conduct a Reconnaissance Survey to assess the suitability of lands in the San Francisco Bay Area to honor the Black Panther Party in Berkeley, Oakland, Richmond, and the surrounding Bay Area; send letter to the National Parks Service, and President[-elect] Joseph R. Biden, Jr with resolution. BACKGROUND The Huey P. Newton Foundation’s President Frederika Newton, widow of Party founder Dr. Huey P. Newton, has requested that the City of Berkeley support national recognition of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense. Formally recognizing their struggle would also be a way of reaffirming the City Council’s mandate as public servants. In the late 1960s, the Nixon Administration embraced white supremacy with renewed vigor and began dismantling President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society and War on Poverty programs almost immediately upon inauguration, heralding a new era of targeted disinvestment and systematic discrimination of Black people, and violent repression of Black activist groups. But even during the preceding Democratic administration, sympathetic government officials made limited progress in a society that systematically excluded Black communities from access to capital, civic institutions, and basic necessities while enforcing geographic segregation. It was the policy of the U.S.

However, like many other social welfare contributions of the Black American community, the Black Panther Party’s social programs remain largely unexamined within the social work literature. To reclaim the social welfare contribution of the Black Panther Party, this paper examines the Free Breakfast for Schoolchildren Program and discusses its relevance to contemporary social work. Key aspects of the Free Breakfast Program are reviewed, including the historical context of the formation of the Black Panther Party and the breakfast program’s mission and funding, as well as reactions to the program.

Long Live Internationalism’’1 Huey P. Newton’s Revolutionary Intercommunalism Besenia Rodriguez ‘‘Long Live Third World Unity! Long Live Internationalism’’ explores the transnational socialism of Huey P. Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party. The Panthers linked their own oppression with that of other racialized and oppressed groups in the U.S. and linked oppression at home with imperialism throughout the tricontinental. The article begins with a brief discussion of the significance of the 1955 Bandung Conference and the 1956 Suez Crisis for antiracist activists in the U.S., paying particular attention to Malcolm X. It then situates the Black Panther Party as heirs to Malcolm X’s tricontinental tradition; lastly, it traces the ideological evolution of Newton and the BPP from revolutionary nationalists and internationalists to revolutionary inter- communalists, arguing that this new conceptual framework, anticipating theories of globalization by twenty years as it does, situates Newton as a central figure of the tricontinental political traditon.

  • The Black Panthers Continue to Expose America's Racial Divide By: R.C
    The Black Panthers Continue to Expose America's Racial Divide By: R.C. Baker WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2016 Like many American icons — P.T. Barnum, Andy Warhol, Ronald Reagan — the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense got its start through a bit of flimflam. Huey Newton, an ex-con and self-taught radical intellectual, and Bobby Seale, foreman of an Oakland, California, anti-poverty youth program, founded the party in October 1966. The fledgling organization needed cash to build membership, and Newton hit upon the idea of selling copies of Mao Tse-tung's Little Red Book at a San Francisco protest against the Vietnam War. By buying the books in wholesale lots from a Chinese bookstore, the budding revolutionaries realized a 400 percent profit. "That was our first fundraiser," Seale said later. "We had not even read this book." College student Stephen Shames photographed Seale hawking the tiny volume — "Get your 'Red Book'! One dollar! The thoughts of Chairman Mao Tse-tung!" — and the two have remained colleagues ever since, most recently collaborating on Power to the People: The World of the Black Panthers, a fiftieth-anniversary collection of photographs, graphics, and reminiscences. Seale (born 1936) and Newton (1942–89) used their big markup on the Communist bestseller to rent office space, install telephones, and buy shotguns, which they used to "police the police." The Panthers' initial program consisted of following members of the overwhelmingly white Oakland police force around predominantly black neighborhoods to guard against police brutality. As Newton told an interviewer in 1968, "In America, black people are treated very much like the Vietnamese people or any other colonized people because we're used, we're brutalized by the police in our community." A number of Shames's photos in Power to the People feature heavily armed, sharply dressed Panthers standing outside party offices or government buildings, where they had gone to demand equal rights.

Black Panther Party: 1966-1982 Abstract The Black Panther party was founded in Oakland, California, in 1966. From its beginnings as a local, community organization with a handful of members, it expanded into a national and international party. By 1980, however, the Black Panther party was once again mainly an Oakland-based organization, with no more than fifty active members. In 1982, the party came to an official end. Despite itselativ r ely short history, its modest membership, and its general eschewing of electoral politics, the Black Panther party was arguably the best known and most controversial of the black militant political organizations of the 1960s, with a legacy that continues to this day.
