The Black Panther Party and civil rights organizations today, such as Black Lives Matter, share the same purpose (both parties have several purposes, but I digress) to protect Black Americans from police brutality. The BPP patrolled neighborhoods, and had some confrontations with the police, whilst the BLM movement recorded confrontations, etc. The BPP did have their own newspaper that showed photographic evidence of police brutality, as well as political cartoons.
