The Black Panthers in the Midwest

Více o knize

Focusing on the Milwaukee branch, this analysis highlights the community programs of the Black Panther Party, aiming to dispel prevalent stereotypes. It challenges misconceptions of the Party as violent and sexist, presenting it instead as an organization dedicated to serving lower-income African American communities. By examining the role of women within the Party and its community initiatives, the book argues for a reevaluation of the Party's legacy as a provider of essential services rather than an extremist group.
