"Black Panthers" From Beginning To End

The height of the Black Panther Party was when they had forty chapters, more than 5,000 members and a weekly newspaper with over 250,000 readers.
             October 15, 1966 Huey Newton and Bobby Seale finalize a draft of the Black Panther Party Ten Point Program and Platform. The Ten Point Program and Platform stated ten points that had two parts "we want" and "we believe". First was freedom. They wanted power to determine the destiny of Black Communities. They believed that black people could not be free until they determined their own destiny. If you look at Asians community you can see that they took control of their own community, which made them economically powerful. Second they wanted full employment for their people. They believed that the federal government was responsible and obligated to give every man employment or a guaranteed income. America is the riches nation, so there is no need for any American to be poor. Third they wanted an end to the robbery by the Capitalist of our Black Communities. They believed that the government robbed blacks and they demand their overdue debts of forty acres and a mule. This is not asking for too much since over a hundred years ago they promised forty acres and mule restitution for slave labor. Fourth the Party wanted decent housing fit for the shelter of human beings. They believed that the government should help with building decent housing for blacks. No America should be without decent housing. Fifth they wanted education for their people that exposes the true nature of Americas society. They believed in a education system that would give blacks a knowledge of self. How can black child have pride for thyself without knowing their own history. Their sixth want was all black men to be exempt from military service. They believed that black men should not fight in a military service to defend a racist government that does not protect them. A black man should not have to die equal, but live in a society where he is not conceded equal.
