The New Black Panther Party

The New Black Panther Party (NBPP) is a social and political organization founded in 1989 that promotes Black empowerment, self-defense, and community activism. Inspired by the original Black Panther Party of the 1960s, it advocates for issues like racial justice, economic equality, and police accountability. However, the NBPP has been controversial; some groups and authorities criticize it for its militant rhetoric and alleged associations with extremism. Despite these criticisms, it primarily functions as a community organization focusing on empowering African Americans and addressing systemic inequalities through activism and advocacy.
