On this day, October 15, 1966, the Party was founded in Oakland, California — a movement born from the call to “serve the people” and Black communities against injustice. 🖤❤️💚

Sixty years later, that legacy lives on through artists like Sophia Victor, activists and elders like Mama C and Yasmeen Majid, who carry its lessons forward right here in Queens.

As part of our Series, God's Vessel - Sophia Victor showcased her incredible pieces from her ongoing project “To Be Free”. Mama C and Yasmeen Majid —former Panther members — told their stories of previous and continued activism to keep this alive for the next generation.

Celebrate history. Honor legacy. Uplift community. Inspire change.
