Synopsis

Quand, en 1966, à Oakland en Californie, Bobby Seale et Huey Newton fondent les Black Panthers, il s'agit pour eux de créer un groupe de défense des droits des Noirs, très discriminés dans cet Etat et en butte aux violences policières. Des militants de la première heure racontent les débuts du groupe, ses actions, ses coups d'éclat, comme l'irruption au parlement de Californie d'une trentaine de Black Panthers armés. Le courage et le culot dont ses membres font preuve assurent la renommée du parti et attirent de nombreux adhérents. Dès lors, la croissance est rapide. Au moment où le mouvement cherche à s'ancrer davantage dans la communauté noire, Edgar Hoover, le patron du FBI, prend le parti pour cible.

In the mid-1940s, a tenant farmer named Gonzalo Mendez moved his family to the predominantly white Westminster district in Orange County and his children were denied admission to the public school on Seventeenth Street. The Mendez family move was prompted by the opportunity to lease a 60-acre (240,000 m) farm in Westminster from the Munemitsus, a Japanese family who had been relocated to a Japanese internment camp during World War II. The income the Mendez family earned from the farm enabled them to hire attorney David Marcus and pursue litigation.
