People are under this misconstrued notion that Pac was a gang member. His lyrics simply symbolic of the struggle. Truth is he was born into the Black Panther Party or BPP (originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense), which was a revolutionary black nationalist and socialist organization active in the United States from 1966 until 1982. Initially, the Black Panther Partys core practice was its armed citizens patrols to monitor the BEHAVIOUR OF POLICE OFFICERS and challenge police brutality. In 1969, community social programs became a core activity of party members. I remember as a child, a lot on the news and talk in our local project communities about them. The Black Panther Party instituted a variety of community social programs, most extensively the Free Breakfast for Children Programs, and community health clinics, among so many others. THEY WERE NOT A GANG! R.I.P Pac for your prophetic vision and light you tried to bring to the world. https://youtube/watch?v=mvpi0LRTa74
