The Black Panther Party (BPP) was founded in 1966 in Oakland, California, primarily to address systemic racial injustices and police brutality against African Americans. Its founders, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, aimed to create a community-based organization that would empower Black communities through self-defense, social programs, and political activism. The BPP’s focus on grassroots organizing and community services, such as free breakfast programs and health clinics, sought to uplift marginalized populations and challenge institutional inequality.
