Primarily active in the 1960s and 1970s, The Black Panther Party had the goal of promoting civil rights and defending oppressed people. Though it began as an African American group, it would grow to include all races in its mission. The Black Panthers were different from many activist groups of the time due to their promotion of armed protest.BlackPanther.org: What Was the Black Panther Party?
