Chrissy and Jared's blog on The Black Panther Party

The Black Panther Party's Platform (1969):

The Black Panther Party was a progressive political organization that stood in the vanguard of the most powerful movement for social change in America since the Revolution of 1776 and the Civil War. The Party began to develop a series of social programs to provide needed services to black and poor people, promoting thereby, at the same time, a model for an alternative, more humane social scheme.

The Party had 10 points of what they wanted and what they believed. This site describes their desires and gives detail about them.
