Read the "Black Panthers: Ten Point Program" & the article "What We Don't Learn About the Black Panther Party - but Should", view the two videos and answer the
following questions:
• What aspects of the Black Panther "Ten Point Program" were consistent with & completely within the bounds of mainstream American political discourse? (in
other words, what were the broad grievances that the Panthers called out in this manifesto?)
• How might the message have been derailed by its delivery?
. Can you think of any other examples of this?
• Was the government's campaign to take down the Panthers justifiable?
