    A movement that helped secure the ADA with their support

    Almost a decade after the height of their power, you associate the Black Panther Party’s support in giving meals to a disability rights protest as being important to the ADA, which itself would not be passed for another decade and a half after that.

    That’s… that’s really what we’re reaching for?

    An organization that was so unimpactful the FBI assassinated their leaders.

    Yeah, I’m not sure that “The FBI under Hoover, which was terrified that homosexuals were secret Communist infiltrators, was scared of them” is exactly a great rational assessment of their threat.
