The Story Behind the Document:
The Black Panther Party’s original “Ten-Point Program” was first drafted by co-founders Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in October 1966, laying out demands for freedom, employment, housing, education, and justice for Black communities. This version, adopted in 1972, reflects the party’s evolution in the years that followed.

Most notably, Point 10 was updated to demand “people’s community control of modern technology”—a revision that speaks to the party’s growing focus on technological equity and media representation in the early 1970s. The change reveals a movement thinking ahead of its time, connecting the struggle for civil rights to questions of who controls the tools and stories that shape society.
