The Black Panther Party was founded in Oakland, California by Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton in October 1966, intending to address social inequalities which non-violent resistance appeared to have failed. Following the murder of an unarmed Black man by San Francisco police in 1966 and the Hunter's Point uprising that followed, Newton began to carefully study California gun laws and organize patrols that would follow police through inner-city neighborhoods to monitor their activities. Over time the party began to focus its energies on promoting individual agency to effect larger social changes, beginning with demanding greater education access for inner-city children. The First Free Breakfast for Children program was launched at St. Augustine's Episcopal Church in Oakland, as it was believed that hungry children would be less able to keep focused in class. Within a decade similar programs were adopted by school districts nationwide.

This lot is located in Philadelphia.
