The Black Panther Party and its Ten-Point Platform of Huey Newton and Bobby Seale was created to educate the black populace and to fight to gain social and political equality.
Newton's Story
The Black Panther Party began with one man's idea. This man was named Huey Newton. He longed for the day that the race of people in America that had gained freedom from slavery only a short century earlier may gain the full rights entitled to white men.

About the Party
The Black Panther Party became famous partially due to their irregular practices as an attempt to attain their goals. These irregularities were what made the party so uniquely special and memorable today.

Vision
The Black Panthers had a list of civil rights and liberties they demanded. This list was a ten-point platform designed to summarize the overall goal of the party.

Today
While the Civil Rights Movement did successfully attain the majority of its goals, some goals were left unattained. Modern groups such as the NAACP and CBPM work toward a more equal tomorrow.
