nice fairy tale
In the late 1960's and early '70's posters of the Black Panther Party's co-founder, Huey P. Newton were plastered on walls of college dorm rooms across the country. Wearing a black beret and a leather jacket, sitting on a wicker chair, a spear in one hand and a rifle in the other, the poster depicted Huey Newton as a symbol of his generation's anger and courage in the face of racism and classism. He is the man whose intellectual capacity and community leadership abilities helped to found the Black Panther Party (BPP). Newton played an instrumental role in refocusing civil rights activists to the problems of urban Black communities. He also tapped the rage and frustration of urban Blacks in order to address social injustice. However, the FBI's significant fear of the Party's aggressive actions would not only drive the party apart but also perpetuated false information regarding the Panther's programs and accomplishments. In recent years, historians have devoted much attention of the early 1960's, to Malcolm X and Martin Luther King and have ignored the Black Panthers. The Panthers and Huey P. Newton's leadership of the Party are as significant to the Black freedom struggle as more widely known leaders of the Civil Rights Moveme
For the FBI sent agent William O'Neal to act as a spy and become a BPP member of the Chicago chapter. Jones ( Black Classic Press: Baltimore, 1998,) 159 Floyd W. Sundiata Acoli, an ex-panther said that one of the Panthers' greatest accomplishments was that the party "created an image of Black manhood that people could be proud of . Huey's experiences growing up were central in his conception of the Black Panthers. Police harassment and physical abuse of Black people became part of every day life for many Blacks across the country. Panther chapters also had been involved in local community struggles for decent housing, welfare rights, citizens' police review panel, Black history classes, and traffic lights on dangerous intersections in Black neighborhoods. Huey demonstrated a remarkable ability to understand complex social philosophies. Fed up with the increasing police brutality towards African Americans and the SSAC rejection of "Brothers On the Block", Huey and Bobby decided to form an organization to monitor police behavior in Black neighborhoods and protect the rights of African Americans. In organizing Panthers Huey tapped the determination and readiness for revolution among societies' outcasts. This role definitely contracts with the media's image of the BPP.
