Panther

I must start by saying that I think the movie "Panther" was
much more than a 'noble attempt' to tell the story of an
organization that figures so prominently in American
History. Marcus Chong's portrayal of Huey Newton was
riveting and while the line between fact and fiction was
occasionally blurred, I believe the movie achieved
something that all the history books we are force fed
during our years of white history indoctrination fail to;
And that is spark dialog and fuel the desire to learn more
about African-American culture and it's many unsung heroes.

Panther was a very engrossing and captivating portrayal of
the black struggle. It showed that blacks were able to
unify for the common good, and the ramifications of doing
so. It should be mandated to see for any history related
curriculum. It is American History as it is.
