Huey Newton and Bobby Seale formed the Black Panthers in 1966. It was created defy police brutality against the African Americans. They wore black berets and black jackets as a "uniform." Black Panthers started and organized armed citizen patrols of Oakland and other U.S. cities. The Black Panthers peaked in 1968, when they had around 2,000 members. Internalized tensions, deadly shootouts, and FBI counterintelligence activities aimed at ending the organization led to the downfall of the Black Panthers.
