The Black Panthers in the Midwest: The Community Programs and Services of the Black Panther Party in Milwaukee, 1966-1977

By Witt Andrew and Andrew Witt

Book Overview

This book analyzes the community programs of the Black Panther Party, with the aim of dispelling many of the existing stereotypes. Witt argues that the Party was not an extremist group dedicated to overthrowing the government of the United States, but rather an organization committed to providing essential community services for lower-income and working-class African American communities around the nation.
