I think you are confusing the BPP with some other organization. All of King’s substantive achievements were accomplished before the formation of the Black Panther’s and he died before they came to national prominence.

Heh, did I mention that peace degree was a loooooong time ago. Totally appreciate the correction.

I remember reading an argument along those lines at the time that resonated. Perhaps not the Black Panthers? Or am I just totally wrong here and there wasn't a shred of political violence in the background?

You tell us - you started this thread

Do you still want to sustain your argument or retract ?

Otherwise your comment above still stands with false information + made worse by a flimsy appeal to authority (peace “degree”)
