NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED WHAT THEY FOUGHT FOR, IN THE MANNER THEY FOUGHT FOR IT, WHAT THEY SACRIFICED, AND THE TIMES IN WHICH THEY COURAGEOUSLY PERFORMED REVOLUTIONARY SUICIDE CONSISTENTLY!

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!   

The former HQ remains as a privately owned residential property with its historical significance buried in time. Be apart of history and please help place The Central Black Panther Party HQ to it's rightful place in not only Black history, but American history.

STRENGTH IN NUMBER, WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!!!
