On this day, 15 October 1966, in Oakland, California, Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton met and set up the Black Panther Party for Self Defence. The Party would exist, despite heavy repression, until 1982 and ran a variety of programmes from free breakfasts for school children and community health clinics to armed citizen patrols and monitoring of the police. Another little-mentioned fact about the group is that in the 1970s it had a majority female membership. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1235981089920372/?type=3
