The Black Panther Party was an African American revolutionary organization that was formed in 1966 and reached its heyday a few years later. Its initial purpose was to patrol Black neighborhoods to protect residents from police brutality. The Black Panthers’ campaign for African American equality had a lasting impact on Black empowerment, and its influence continues to be felt in such current social movements as Black Lives Matter . In addition, the group inspired other minority groups worldwide to pursue their own causes. IMPORTANCE In addition to the founders, Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton , notable Black Panthers included Eldridge Cleaver , who favored a more militant approach, and Elaine Brown, the party’s first and only female chairman. Angela Davis , a philosophy lecturer, was closely associated with the group, and she became a cause célèbre for the radical left after being accused of abetting a failed prisoner escape. Also notable was Fred Hampton , whose death during a police raid brought increased scrutiny to the FBI ’s efforts to end the party.
