    The Black Panther Party was founded in Oakland, California in 1966 amid larger civil rights and black nationalist movements. It sought to challenge police brutality against African Americans and establish community social programs. At its peak, the Party had over 5,000 members across the country. However, the FBI's COINTELPRO program illegally infiltrated and repressed the Party through violence and imprisonment of its leaders, reflecting the long history of repression of black liberation movements in the United States.
