There is an entire generation of young people who know nothing about how viciously the FBI attacked The Black Panther Party, and why.

The FBI's Counter-Intelligence Program would work hand-in-hand with police departments, literally planning attacks on Black Panther Party offices throughout the United States of America. They did this over a period of time.
