organization founded in October of 1966, which by the end of the 20th century had been physically decimated nation-wide. The Black Panthers had been “neutralized and destroyed”. Nevertheless, the ideas and programs of the Black Panther Party, for one breathless historical moment, actually shook the very foundations of the most powerful nation in the world: the United States of America. Indeed, although ultimately physically destroyed, many of the ideas and programs initiated by the Black Panther Party (BPP) survived its brutal physical decimation well into the 21st century.1  \nNow, in the 21st century, the principles and goals of the Black Panther Party’s Ten Point Platform and Program2 remain of enormous and increasing relevance. Thus, despite the fact that the BPP was ruthlessly destroyed, its activities callously “disrupted”, many of its members viciously framed, forced into exile, railroaded to prison and/or murdered, the United States government has been incapable of destroying the ideas, hopesand aspirations of the BPP. Like the phoenix that rose from the ashes, the ideas and hopes of the BPP for Black liberation and self-determination have refused to die and continue to take root. Therefore, former members of the BPP and its very legacy are today deemed by the United States government and its many repressive forces to be a threat that is to be totally eliminated.  \nOur message, we believe, is a timely one, and it is hoped that you, the reader, will find our perspectives informative, important and urgent, not merely because we are both former BPP members, but because our own individual experiences in the Party started separately, from different coasts, merging in the 21st century to take up the clarion call alerting our communities to the methodical and intensifying nation-wide vendetta by the US government and its repressive agencies against the BPP, its true legacy and the Black communities from which we sprang.  \nToday, the situation is both urgent and critical. The sustained government vendetta against former members of the BPP and its very legacy is in reality  \n* This article is part of a series.  \nan attack against Black people nation-wide and is intended to frighten Black people into submission. This must be understood precisely for what it is.  \nHOW THE VENDETTA IS BEING CARRIED OUT  \nThe American Heritage Dictionary defines the “vendetta” as being act(s) or an attitude “motivated by vengeance [revenge]”. With the founding of the BPP in October of 1966, young Black people made a commitment to obtaining human rights that the US government deemed then, and deemsnow, tobe “revolutionary”, includingthe right of Black people “to determine the destiny of our Black community” [self determination], the right to “an immediate end to police brutality”, the right to “full employment”, and the right to “land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace”(from the Ten-Point Program of the Black Panther Party, see back cover of this issue) .  \nThat the BPP demonstrated the audacity to demand these so-called“revolutionary” rights prompted then FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover, in outlining the theme of the now infamous COINTELPRO (CounterIntelligence Program) activities against the BPP, to declare that,“The Negro youth and moderate[s] must be made to understand that if they succumb to revolutionary teachings, they will be dead revolutionaries”.  \nMoreover, the BPP was scandalously labeled as “public enemy number one” and dubbed “the greatest threat to internal [US] security.” Thus began the ongoing vendetta against the BPP.  \nThe very idea of Black people insisting upon economic, social and political justice was, in 1966 and remains today, unacceptable to the United States government and is therefore viewed as justifi","cbCaipTmxQ31aI6C","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipTmxQ31aI6C","pdf",119114,"English","# Introduction\n## How the Vendetta Is Being Carried Out","[{\"question\":\"What does the text say about the Black Panther Party’s impact after its physical destruction?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that many ideas and programs of the Black Panther Party survived well into the 21st century, even after the Party was “neutralized and destroyed.”\"},{\"question\":\"Which rights from the Ten Point Program does the text highlight as core demands?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights self-determination, an immediate end to police brutality, full employment, and access to land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice, and peace.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the text describe the motivation and execution of the “vendetta” against the Panthers?\",\"answer\":\"It presents the vendetta as officially sanctioned and systematic, linked to federal counterintelligence activities and carried out through multiple political administrations, with targeted repression continuing to the present.\"}]","Pinkney and Sanders - Introduction - How the Vendetta Is Being Carried Out | PDF",18]
