Read document 6, the Black Panther Party Platform, and respond to this prompt.
PROMPT: You are a black individual living in the US in the 1960s; the police have harassed you, and you have seen friends killed by the police for no reason other than skin color. You have also worked for and seen the tremendous strides taken by MLK and the non-violent movement. Now the Black Panthers approach you to join them in feeding the poor of your community, educating your neighborhood kids and protecting them from police brutality, meeting violence with violence if need be. What is your decision and why?
i think that i would decide to help out the black panthers with what they needed. although there is a lot of descrimination, i would still help out. i would try to put out there violence is NOT the answer and that even though i have been harassed, i am not going to let that stop me from working and helping out.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely help the Black Panthers because violence is wrong. I would love to help my community in every way possible.
