00:00The Black Panthers.

00:02Black Panther.

00:02Black Panther Party.

00:03Black Panther Movement.

00:04The Black Panthers were absolutely unique.

00:09Being black in America meant that you didn't walk down the street with the same sense of safety and the sense of privilege as a white person.

00:16Attack dogs, fire hoses.

00:18Police jump on you, beat you up, put the gun at your head.

00:22This is what we were going through on the daily basis.

00:25We stand on the eve of a black revolution, brothers.

00:28Now we have voices within the community that we're not going to continue to turn the other chief.

00:33We want black power.

00:34We want black power.

00:37Second Amendment guarantees a citizen of the right to bear arms on public property.

00:43We're going to carry our guns and we're going to follow the police.

00:46We're going to maintain a legal distance, ready to throw down if necessary.

00:50Anyone who would approve of this kind of demonstration must be out of their mind.

00:54Don't get yourself.

00:56That's what I need.

00:57These racist Gestapo fiends have to stop brutalizing our community or we're going to drive them out.

01:02The majority of the rank and file are women.

01:04We tried to change some of the clear gender roles women had done and men cooked breakfast for children.

01:10The way we walked and talked and dressed.

01:13We were a phenomenon.

01:15The Black Panthers really understood the media.

01:19They used us to their advantage.

01:21Chairman of the Black Panther Party and here he is.

01:23They tapped the phone.

01:25The phone is probably hooked up to the White House.

01:27You read the Black Panther Party newspaper?

01:29Yes, I do.

01:30Why?

01:30Because I am black and I'm proud.

01:32The FBI wanted to destroy the Panthers.

01:35How about justice?

01:37Justice is incidental to law and order.

01:39This was all out attack on the Black Panther Party.

01:42Every significant office is going to be raided, bombed, shot, mass arrests.

01:46They were coming to kill us.

01:48When the 15-minute gun battle was over, two Black Panthers were dead.

01:53This was obviously a political assassination.

01:55It was like a slaughterhouse.

01:59We were doing fundraisers at places like Jane Fonda's townhouse so that we could raise money for the legal defense fund.

02:05There were 156 not guilty verdicts.

02:10This is astonishing.

02:11We don't hate nobody because of their color.

02:13We hate oppression.

02:14We refer to ourselves as the vanguard.

02:18We wanted the entire community to follow.

02:21I feel free.

02:23I feel absolutely free.

02:26You understand?

02:28That's what I feel.
