10-Point Program

The 10-Point Program was a plan introduced in 1966 by the Black Panther Party aimed at addressing racial inequality and improving the lives of African Americans. It outlined specific demands such as genuine freedom, justice, employment, decent housing, education, exemption from military service, community control over police, and an end to capitalism's exploitation. Essentially, it was a comprehensive set of goals to fight discrimination and injustice, advocating for equal rights and economic fairness. The program served as both a call for action and a blueprint for community empowerment and social change.
