15. FBI infiltrated the Black Panther Movement
The Black Panther party was a revolutionary socialist and black nationalist organization. As the influence of the party kept on increasing, the government started to get worried. In response, the FBI infiltrated the Black Panther Movement under the operation termed “COINTELPRO” which was aimed to incriminate the members and discredit the party. It is believed this was the primary reason behind the premature end of the party.
