History: Did You Know The Panthers Were Instrumental In Bringing Healthcare To The Community (Video)
September 28, 2018
Just being a follower here, we can assume that you know that the Black Panthers were NOT just gun-toting White-hating anarchists and agitators. But this vid… this is for the one looking over your shoulder; the one that maybe you should invite over and give your chair and let learn the truth! The Black Panthers were not only stepping up to defend downtrodden people of color against abusive authorities, but they were stepping in where the authorities would not – providing food and healthcare programs unlike anything offered to brothers and sisters who would not get help elsewhere.

The Murder of Fred Hampton (Documentary Trailer)
February 26, 2016
‘All Power To The People’ as a concept should not scare us. Fred Hampton’s stance in the above trailer comes through just as plain and clear on grainy archival footage as it would were he standing flat-footed saying it to our faces today: ‘If you are scared of socialism…you are scared of yourselves.’Â How deep is that?!
This trailer was made before Fred Hampton’s death when the film was to be called “Black Panther.” It shows Hampton (August 30, 1948 — December 4, 1969) giving a speech on revolution and racism in front of a large audience. Includes glimpses of Panthers Bobby Rush and Bobby Seale and filmmaker Howard Alk. This trailer is not included in the DVD release of the film.

Black History is OUR history, all of ours (not just Black people’s). You should watch this; even after February 29th.

The Black Panthers: Vanguard of The Revolution (Trailer)
February 12, 2016
Depending on where you are on the social-political-cultural-racial spectrum, viewing this will make you feel engaged, enlightened, enraged, sad and frightened. Actually, you will feel all those things no matter who you are watching this. It’s just a matter of who you’ll feel them about and in what order you’ll experience the emotions. What could the trailer above be teasing that is that powerful?
New film by acclaimed documentarian Stanley Nelson about the rise and fall of the Black Panther Party.
That’s right. Not the “Captain America: Civil War” character… These revolutionary men and women were way stronger. Too Black, too strong; which is why the government brought its full weight against them. There’s your damn (un)Civil War. Check out the trailer for “The Black Panthers: Vanguard of The Revolution” (coming soon).
