Black Panther Party Transitions

By the summer of 1970, the expansion of the Black Panther Party (BPP) Party’s Food programs symbolized a strategic shift from a militant black power phase to a grassroots practical socialism community survival phase. Other shifts included launching businesses such as grocery stores and community health care initiatives such as testing community members for sickle-cell anemia, a painful and deadly blood disorder among people of African dissent. In the second phase the party remained consistent in the message that it didn’t seek violence and it would defend the constitutional rights of lower caste communities. Secondly, it had no interest in subsiding the dominant caste’s fear of the BPP.
