The Seattle branch of the Black Panther Party was one of the first chapters to be established outside of the original headquarters of California. Aaron Dixon, the founder of this branch, recounts his time as a panther in the book My People Are Rising. In this book, Dixon describes his experiences as having been a constant emotional roller coaster. One day everything would go according to plan, and the next the party would be under heavy attack. the Seattle Black Panther Party branch was one of the strongest, most well organized chapters within the party, and at one point in its existence, it was also one of the most dangerous chapters of the party, supporting Hoover’s statement of the Black Panthers being “the number one internal threat to the security of the United States.”

In the film Black Panther, there are a few differing opinions regarding how the fictional nation Wakanda should act towards other nations when it comes to providing shelter and resources. At the beginning of the film, it was established that Wakanda has always been completely isolated from the rest of the world, withholding their extremely powerful and useful resource known as Vibranium from the outside world. They also avoid intervening in international issues, and carry the facade of being a poor African nation. Though some of the main characters have opposing views on how Wakanda should carry itself in front of the world, I personally understand aspects of each argument. Ultimately, though, I agree with T’Challa’s ending viewpoint the most.
