About this course

An exploration and close examination of varied forms of literature related to, and inspired by, the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, founded in 1966 in Oakland, California, by Elbert Howard, Huey P. Newton, and Bobby Seale. Exploration and examination will span the organization’s inception to present-day, including mission statement, biographies, novels, interviews, documentaries, government and court documents relative to allegations of criminal violations, as well as Constitutional references, and online dialogue. Exploration and examination also includes subsequent resulting literature related to past and current social concerns, such as racial discourse, Black Lives Matter, 1st and 2nd Amendment rights, as well as film productions and documentaries, and evaluation of the Black Panther Party's continuing and present-day impact on society and popular culture.
