Black Panther Party Workbook & Primary Sources Companion
Explore the Black Panther Party through historical context, guided inquiry, and primary source analysis.
This two-resource Smart Brown Girl set pairs the Power to the People Student Workbook with the Reading & Primary Sources Companion. Together, they help learners investigate the Party’s political goals, community programs, leadership, and relationship with government authorities.
Historical readings and guided exercises encourage students to examine how the Party organized, how it was portrayed, and how competing narratives shape public understanding. The companion supports deeper inquiry by giving readers source material to examine alongside the workbook’s questions and activities.
