The '''Black Panther Party''' (originally the '''Black Panther Party for Self-Defense''') was 
an [[African-American]] [[far-left|revolutionary left]]ist organization. It was active in the [[United States]] from 1966 until 1982.
The Black Panther Party achieved national and international impact through its deep involvement in the [[Black Power]] movement and in [[Politics of the United States|U.S. politics]] of the 1960s and 70s.  The intense [[anti-racism]] of that time is today considered one of the most significant social, political and cultural currents in [[History of the United States|U.S. history]]. The group's "provocative [[rhetoric]], [[militancy|militant]] posture, and cultural and political flourishes permanently altered the contours of American Identity."<ref>, Curtis. Life of A Party. Crisis ; Sep/Oct2006, Vol. 113 Issue 5, p30-37, 8p</ref>
