The Black Panther Party achieved so much while they were active that their affects on the nation last to today. They began the massive retaliation against police brutality and other corrupt systems that continues to be recognized and called out. Their large success influenced and inspired other oppressed minorities across the world and in the future to fight against their oppressors. As an example, the modern Black Lives Matter movement became widespread with the murder of George Zimmerman. The ability to come together and express the anger and hurt caused by events such as those could be contributed to Black Panthers success when they did the same.

"We don't think you fight fire with fire best; we think you fight fire with water best. We're going to fight racism not with racism, but we're going to fight with solidarity. We say we're not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we're going to fight it with socialism." (Fred Hampton).

This quote en-captures what set Black Panthers apart from other civil rights activist groups. They did not believe in fighting against the issues they faced by throwing those issues back at their aggressors, but instead by trying to erase the issue entirely.

The Black Panther Party began to take action when the founders had become dissapointed with the failure of the Civil Rights movement. They recognized and stood against police brutality/violence and state oppression. Not only did they lead protests, challenge politicians and fight against police violence, but they also created community service "survival" programs.
