In October 1966, Bobby Seale and Huey P Newton, two students from Oakland University in California, founded the Black Panther Party. Their organisation, which was revolutionary in spirit, set itself the goal of political and social transformation in the United States and the end of racial discrimination. Between 1967 and 1973, the most intense period of this movement which lasted sixteen years, the photographer Stephen Shomes went into the intimacy of the Panthers, testifying to their public life, their struggle, their daily life. This photographic report is a poignant testimony to the commitment of these young black Americans and their organization during one of the most tumultuous periods in American history.
