Black Panther Marvel's First African American Hero

Throughout our lifetime we have at least encountered a heroic story, and probably even realized a pattern. An example is Joseph Campbell, who created a theory called “Monomyth”

Time and time again, the Black Panther must represent his nation in front of the entire globe. Because of this, everyone has knowledge of the Black Panther a.k.a T’Challa. Black Panther’s respect for his people is shown particularly when Wakanda was invited to a very important panel that would be aired in front of the world. This panel would include the likes of Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, and many more “Big Name” heroes. Panther brought along two colleagues from Wakanda to sit with him on the panel – Okoye and Nareema. When the panel intensified, it was the Black Panther turn to offer up some resolutions. During this moment, Okoye and Nareema suggested some of their thoughts to T’Challa and the rest of the panel. Even though Stark and company tried to downplay their suggestions, their King stepped up for them, allowing their points to be heard worldwide. “No you may not Mr. Stark, my companions will be heard!” Because of T’Challa’s respect, he enabled Okoye and Nareema to cultivate a sensible solution, which was eventually used to help prevent an oncoming conflict.

In “The Black Panther Platform: What We Want, What We Believe,” Huey Newton and Bobby Seale use intersectionality and contradiction to criticize several structural obstacles that facilitated unfair treatment of black people. Some of these injustices included inequalities in basic necessities like housing and education, the economic exploitation of black people in a capitalist society, and military, judicial, and police targeting of black people. Hegemonic ideologies had been dictating the lives of black people for centuries, and the Black Panther Party was a revolutionary socialist party founded in 1966 during the Civil Rights Movement that sought to promote the counter-hegemonic movement in favor of civil liberties. The ideologies that the

Around the fall of 1966, the black civil rights movement was changing its strategies and goals all overnight. Many white Americans wanted to know what was the sudden change in the blacks because they haven’t been use to seeing such a proud race that was demanding equal rights. The black movement shift became obvious to the public in August of 1965, when President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act that caused all the blacks to have pep in their step. After the signing there was many chaotic events that was occurring. Just one week after the of there was an explosion of ghetto violence that resulted in35 dead, over 900 injured, more than 3,900 arrested and over $46 million in property damage. The riots and damaging didn’t just

The success of the Panther political activities and community programs and their huge growth and influence and membership soon brought them under fire from the American

After the creation of the Ku Klux Klan, one of the most vicious and racist groups that the United States has ever seen, a new group was formed to counteract their hatred: the Black Panther Party. In October of 1966, the leaders of this group, Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton of Marrit College in Oakland, California, saw the Civil Rights movement as being too passive and decided to form a more reactionary group, to combat the racism and oppression that they experienced in Oakland (Ware, par. 1-2). Eventually, the group evolved into one that emphasized “black love” and programs to better their community. Stereotypically, the Black Panther Party is associated with violence, almost to the same level as the KKK. This is due to the fact that they sought to protect their communities from racists via an armory of guns and weapons in their homes. Also, the symbol of the Black Panther Party is a black man with a gun,

I attended the 50 Years of the Black Panther Party on November 14. Black Panther is an African American revolutionary party. Blacked Panther formed in Oakland, California, by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. As a result of police brutality against African Americans in the 60s Huey Newton and Bobby Seale established this group. Patrol the police was the main reason that they started this group. Black Panther got bigger every year, and now after almost 60 years they are one of the leading movements for human rights. Thanks to Black Panther there is other movements with analogy beliefs.

The Black Panther Party was a prominent political organization that operated from 1966 to 1982, born out of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s and advocated for equal rights and economic opportunities for African-American communities. While the party did originate in California, influential chapters spread out across the United States beyond California, including major cities like New York, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Chicago. With the party so widespread and with a great amount of people involved, it allowed for problems to arise within the communities they reached and within the party itself. These issues, both internal and external, lead to the eventual fall of the Black Panthers. The collapse

"The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense recognized what they needed. They were youthful. They were dark. They couldn 't be overlooked. Their ten-point stage was only the start of an exceptional period in the historical backdrop of this current country 's social liberties development. By 1967 the Black Panthers had set up themselves as a power to be figured with. Theeir thoughts, their plan, their battle for equity for African Americans, put these candid youth on the guide of American legislative issues." (Haskins) Almost 40 years back, in 1966, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale drove a transformation that was driven in light of the mistreatment of dark individuals. They tried to change that. Today, on account of their battle for social liberties, great dangers, and advancement of social needs, individuals around the globe can appreciate some of their adjustments, for example, free breakfast programs. The development and developments of the Black Panther Party were coordinated by the F.B.I, who tried to cut each gathering part down; and additionally their radical organizations together, for example, The Resistance, (which fueled the resurrection of the gathering amid tough times), and the courageous ladies who joined the gathering, for example, Afeni Shakur, defended their rights in a period in which Americas looked down on ladies as not as much as equivalents helped their cause.

Myths and stories about great heroes serve to let people realize the hero potential that they have in themselves. “It has always been the prime function of mythology and rite to supply the symbols that carry the human spirit forward, in counteraction to those that tend to tie it back.” (Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces) Joseph Campbell, an American mythologist, developed the idea of monomyth, which is the theory that all myths are variations of the same story. He believed that everyone has the potential to be a hero, and that heroes all follow the same journey described in the monomyth theory. The idea of monomyth states that no matter what time period, the journey for a hero will be very similar.

The Black Panther Party was a revolutionary party that was for the encroachment and prolongation of the Black community and the freedom of their social and economic rights that come with finally being recognized as first class citizens. The head of this revolution, Huey P. Newton, started the party along with Bobby Seale in order to set the path for the Black people to follow, even long after they pass. The constant struggle for social and economic freedom among the Black community would soon end, thanks to this sudden revolution and its well-prepared planning. With each small step of watching police officers and the paying for the bail of every person they followed to the jail, the Panthers were slowly, but surely, wearing down the walls of their racist and prejudiced prison. Using the Little Red Book and guns, along with the amazing power of numbers and the art of self-defense, the Black Panther Party transformed the Black revolution and made it into not only fighting racism and inequality, but also made it into a movement for the Black community to love themselves and their culture instead of wishing they were white so they would not have to go through what they were going through. Self-love, along with education and children, was one of the more important parts of the revolution because what is the point of getting to the top of a deep pit that you and your ancestors have climbed for centuries, only to take a single step and fall into another great pit, this deeper

With the recent increase of diverse characters being depicted in media, people are becoming more tolerant towards other cultures and ethnicities. One such character is Black Panther. In most popular sources of media, people of color are not given the role of the main character; rather, they are supporting characters who are often overshadowed by the typical white protagonist. The scarcity of people of color in media has resulted in many children of color not having a role model to revere who shares their same culture and experiences regarding their race.
