Black Panthers
The group was Founded by Stokely Carmichael
They were a Militant group which openly called for the use of violence.
They were an organization where people within the group had specific roles almost like positions within countries.
“Minister of War” was Bobby Seale and “Minister of Propaganda” was Eldridge Cleaver
The group fizzled out in the 1970s as more equality legislation was brought in.
Summary: The Black Panthers were pushing for rights and equalities just as Martin Luther King was. They however, felt that violence would be a more effective plan to reach this goal than peaceful protest.

Question: If the Black Panthers had not been as based on military would they have had a greater influence?
