The Black Panther Party was founded #OnThisDay in 1966. From a 2016 article commemorating its 50th anniversary: "The work of the Black Panthers remains important for several reasons. First, they remind us that the problem of police brutality has long been with us [...] Second, the BPP offers a good model of grassroots activism and ideology in practice."
Remembering the Black Panther Party
More than five decades after its founding, the Black Panther Party's antiracist, anticapitalist vision remains just as relevant today.

"Babbage saw the analytical engine as a mathematical device. After all, it primarily stored and operated on numbers. But Lovelace recognized that a machine de­­signed to crunch numbers could do much more if the numbers represented other things. “Supposing, for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musical composition were susceptible of such ex­­pres­sion and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent.”" Happy Ada Lovelace Day!
