David Hilliard Quote

The ideology of the Black Panther Party is the historical experiences of Black people in America translated through Marxism-Leninism. When we review the past history of Black people in this country, we realize that after four hundred years we are victims of the oppressive machinery that gags, binds, and chains Black men who speak out in defense of their alleged constitutional rights.
