Legacy Spirit of the Black Panthers
Jermaine Thomas, 55 min. 2016
“The Black Panthers were recognized as a radical organization. The truth is they were Service driven and Legacy shows that. Through Interviews with Charlotte & Pete O'Neil and Archival Footage, Legacy tells the story of how The Panthers provided schools, breakfast programs, health clinics and food pantries for the needy. The Panthers still have that Spirit of Service today. All Power to the People!”

Lords of the Revolution
VH1, 2009, 60 min
In the 60s, there were few radical groups more controversial that The Black Panthers. Led by the dynamic personalities of Bobby Seale, Huey Newton and Eldridge Cleaver, the Panthers boldly challenged white America to deliver justice and opportunity for all. Armed with guns and clad with berets and leather jackets, the Panthers advocated self-defense; initiated social service programs nationwide; and became a defiant symbol of Black Power. They also become a target as the FBI and police waged a bloody war to bring the party down.
