Black Panther Party Teaching Bundle with Workbook & Educator Guide
Bring historical context and primary source inquiry to your study of the Black Panther Party.
The Black Panther Party’s history encompasses community organizing, political education, armed self-defense, and conflict with government authorities. This Smart Brown Girl teaching bundle helps educators explore that complexity through structured lessons, source analysis, and guided discussion.
Three complementary resources give students a foundation for examining the Party’s goals, community programs, leadership, and the forces that shaped its development. Educators receive support for teaching contested history with care while keeping evidence at the center of classroom inquiry.
