How To Properly Measure (almost) Any Garment:

Established in 1966 by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland, California, the Black Panther Party (BPP) emerged as a pivotal force in addressing issues of police brutality, systemic racism, and economic disparities affecting the African American community. The party gained prominence for its commitment to self-defense and resistance against racial injustice, employing armed patrols to monitor and confront police activities. The iconic imagery of Black Panthers with firearms and black berets became a symbol of their dedication to protecting communities and challenging oppressive systems.

In addition to their emphasis on self-defense, the Black Panther Party was notable for its social programs, including initiatives like free breakfast programs for children, health clinics, and educational efforts. Despite making significant contributions to community empowerment, the BPP faced intense government scrutiny and external criticism, leading to internal conflicts and eventual dissolution in the late 1970s. Nevertheless, the legacy of the Black Panther Party endures as a powerful symbol of resistance, empowerment, and the ongoing struggle for civil rights during a tumultuous era in American history.

The slogan "Free Huey" emerged as a rallying cry within the Black Power movement, particularly in the late 1960s and early 1970s, advocating for the release of Huey P. Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party. Newton's arrest on charges of killing a police officer (later overturned) galvanized support for the Panthers and symbolized resistance against systemic oppression and police brutality faced by African Americans. The slogan encapsulated broader demands for justice, empowerment, and liberation, emphasizing solidarity and defiance against racial injustice in America.
