The fight for equality seems to be a never sending one. The battle to end injustice seems ever long. Power is in the able to chose. Voting gives you that ability, that power. By voting you’re agreeing that the person running can serve your best interest. But who do you vote for when no one “has your back”? No one is looking to serve your best interests? You make your own political party and run.
The Black Panther Party Platform ’96 was a political party that served the interest and looked out for the well being of primarily of the black community. The Black Panthers logo is a black panther. I believe that is a perfect logo for such a new and strong political party. The Black Panther in the logo to be represents strength, in the form of a large black cat. It’s very artistic because it’s so catchy, whenever a person who is aware of political movements see a black panther I believe a connect can be made of the political party.

Hi - A good start -keep working on brainstorming about the two manifestos you'll use and the connections you see.
One note of caution: there's a more recent group sometimes referred to as the Black Panther Party - members of the originally group have been critical of them and their use of the name. For the purposes of this essay, if you're using the platform you want to stick with the handout for the original sixties platform.
