According to the official newspaper of the BPP, the BPP
was started during December, 1966, in Oakland, California. to
organize black people so they can take control of the life, politics,
and the destiny of the black community. It was organized by BOBBY G.
SEALE, BPP Chairman, and HUEY P. NEWTON, Minister of Defense, BPP.
The official newspaper, called “The Black Panther,”
regularly states that the BPP advocates the use of guns and guerrilla
tactics in its revolutionary program to end oppression of the black
people. Residents of the black community are urged to arm them-
selves against the police who are consistently referred to as "pigs"
who should be killed.
