These are two of the most important successes of the civil rights movement and both of them happened before the black panthers even existed. |
Black Nationalism, in general, predates the Black Panther Party by almost 20 years. Letter from Birmingham Jail was written in 1963.
I only mentioned the Black Panthers specifically because they were involved in cop-watching and preventing police brutality by being armed.
