| 21. free speech tv had a documentary on the black panthers |
|
it's interesting that the black panthers started with helping the neighborhoods-feeding children, helping those in the hood who were impoverished. They interviewed FBI agents who told of the campaign to discredit the movement. Also, it talked about the rise of gang bangers after the black panthers were neutralized. Quite interesting.
