    "The Black Panther is an animal that when pressured it moves back until it is cornered, then it comes out fighting for life or death."

    On Oct. 15, 1966, the Black Panther Party for Self Defense was founded in Oakland, California.

    While confronting racism and police violence against the Black community with open militancy, their grassroots "community survival programs" addressed multiracial struggles and provided vital access to food, clothes, housing, healthcare and education.

    The very first Black Panther Party poster features a stalking black panther between the two sections of the slogan "Move on Over or We'll Move on Over You". [Created in Lowndes County, Alabama, in 1965, when the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Lowndes County Freedom Organization (LCFO) - the original 'Black Panther Party'- organized and registered Black voters — 80% of the population — who had no Black elected official and were denied the ballot till then.]
    "Earlene Coleman, Black Panther Party member prepares bags of food for distribution at the Laney College student center for the Black Panther Community Survival Conference at the Oakland Coliseum where the Panthers gave away 6,000 bags of groceries."
    "Black Panther children in a classroom with their teacher, Evon Carter, widow of Alprentice Bunchy Carter, at the Intercommunal Youth Institute, the Black Panther school."
