I mean the response I read last night at least said that they were explicitly socialist. Like yeah it's not going into their specific tendency, but it's better than nothing
Once again confirming that /r/askhistorians is the only good subreddit.
Its aggressively liberal though, it has all sorts of "Bernie and Trump are the same" vibes
Btw anyone know any good books on the Black Panthers? I really wanna learn more, I feel we could learn a lot from them.
From the linked comment:
If you're interested in learning more about the BPP, I would recommend reading From The Bullet to the Ballot by Dr. Jakobi Williams. He is a civil rights activist and one of the leading BPP historians. Most of my information in this comment is sourced from a class I took with him about the history and development of the Black Panther Party. I also know we heavily referenced Black Against Empire in that class as well.
If movies are more your speed, The Black Power Mixtape is good, and although I've never seen it, Spike Lee made a Huey Newton Biopic
