I need it for radicalising. Corbyn's Christmas message video promotes the Panthers and has a strategically placed CCCP Yuri Gargarin bust in it. Two things he is obviously including intentionally for people to pill audiences with.
I have no bookmarks about the Panthers though. I've seen others post great shit before in comments where they're referenced and I'm hoping some people have things saved. Hit me please.
The Panthers are not talked about enough here. They are simply incredible and we need them back. Everyone on this site needs to watch this video.

Saw that immediately after posting, bookmarked.
Definitely need to build a list of pills for these. They get mentioned from time to time and having quickfire access to things to drop into conversation would be very useful.
This interview of Huey Newton (featuring young Levar Burton!) I think is pretty great for showing what the BPP was doing for these communities. Most liberals probably see the BPP solely as armed radicals, but most of their work was in community organizing and community aid, and this video shows a small part of that with the Oakland Community School.
Depending on who you're talking to, their ten point program might be useful. It is short and digestible.
I'm currently reading The Assassination of Fred Hampton: How the FBI and the Chicago Police Murdered a Black Panther. But it's not really short.
hampton has a cool fucking speech on youtube somewhere

A lot of Fred Hampton's speeches are great as he was very charismatic and gets right to the heart of various issues. His Rainbow Coalition stuff also sits well with a lot of people who see BLM as some kind of supremacist movement as he recognises that the same economic issues faced by black people are also faced by white people.
