BLACK PANTHERS
In 1966, Bobby Seale and
Huey Newton formed The
Black Panther Party, an
organization, established
with the goal to ensure the
safety and welfare of people
of Afro-American origin.
Their outfits reflected the
seriousness of their ideas:
a black uniform, to make
them appear as a solid
block of unified people;
dark shades, to cover their
faces so their loved ones
would remain safe; and a
black beret, to counter the
green ones worn by the
military, but also to channel
some French revolutionary
spirit into the movement.
