action to change how they were being treated.

and some revolutionary principles, teaching them how to use them and how to apply them.
The Black Panthers were helping to build the black community by training the younger
generations, especially the boys. They were making sure that by the time the original
founders are done, the younger generations will be able to rise up and take over.

and the Story of the Black Panther Party
Hilliard mentions how the Black Panthers organized the Free Breakfast for Children
program to help black children receive a meal each day before school. They helped over
20,000 children. The Black Panthers were helping to uplift the black community by making
sure their people were taken care of and had food in their stomachs. They were making
sure the younger generations wouldnt starve and had a helping hand.

The Black Panthers protested against white owned establishments and facilities. Protested
against white men who killed Blacks. By protesting, they were saying that the white man
should be punished for killing Blacks because murder is a crime. They were trying to fight
the system by coming together and standing up for what they believe in.
