The Remedial Herstory PodcastEpisode 30: White Supremacy and the Black PanthersTrigger warning: this episode refers to murder and suicide. Women represented 50% of the Black Panther Party, but women, schools, and food programs are not typically what comes to mind when one thinks of this party. Women sometimes get used to soften a groups image, and hidden to harden the image in our collective memory. But women were there the whole time. In this episode we talk about the role women played in the party and some important women who's lives and work continue today.
