This video gives a brief background of the Black Panthers role in the Civil rights Movement. I think I would use this to build background for my students when reading One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia. The video clip would probably be best suited for middle school age students. It does describe how the Black Panthers original mission of providing free breakfast and "liberation schools" turned toward violence during the late 1960's.
I just watched Black Power and the Black Panthers via Discovery Education
