Black Panthers: Freedom Fighters or Radical Hate Group?

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the BLACK PANTHER PARTY and MD brings in special guest, LARRY PINKNEY an ORIGINAL BLACK PANTHER to discuss how the PANTHERS are viewed in today's society.  Did the BLACK PANTHERS start out as community organization that eventually got away from their principles?  How did the PANTHERS feel about MARTIN LUTHER KING'S approach of NON-VIOLENCE?  Did the FBI's COINTELPRO infiltrate to bring down the Party or did their own in fighting between HUEY P. NEWTON & ELRIDGE CLEAVER play the biggest role in the demise of the party?  At the top of the 2nd Hour, for the MONEY & POWER 15, we ask how did the PANTHERS finance their BREAKFAST PROGRAM and provide 20K meals weekly for the youth, as well as the sickle cell testing for the community?  MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask.  "ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK"
