Unveiling the Truth About the Black Panther Party with Bunchy Carter and Addo Aquitas

In this powerful episode of Conversations for the People, host Matthew Solomon is joined by Bunchy Carter and Addo Aquitas, key figures from the Black Panther Party and National Panther Party, to explore the legacy of the original Panthers and the ongoing community work rooted in survival programs. They discuss the school lunch program, which originated with the Panthers and later became the National School Lunch Program, demonstrating their lasting contributions to education and community empowerment. Together, they delve into the misinformation that has surrounded the Black Panther Party for decades, combatting narratives that wrongly painted the party as a "terrorist organization." Instead, they emphasize the party’s deep commitment to education, community defense, and social programs, particularly in response to systemic police violence, such as in the cases of George Floyd and Saeed Joaquin. This episode also highlights: • The continued importance of survival programs like Feed the People, aimed at addressing basic human needs and ensuring food security in underserved communities. • The challenges of recruitment in today’s society, where social media and distractions often pull attention away from meaningful activism. • A detailed look at the National People's Corps, a program designed to involve more people in community activism and political education, even if there isn’t a local Black Panther chapter near them. Through these discussions, Bunchy and Addo reflect on how education can dismantle systemic lies and help rebuild community trust and collective liberation. They also share their thoughts on the future of the movement, and what a post-revolutionary society might look like—a world where justice, education, and basic survival are guaranteed for all.
