## Caption

60 years of Black Power in Oakland. ✊🏾 In 1968, members of the Black Panther Party gathered on the steps of the Alameda County Courthouse during the trial of co-founder Huey P. Newton.⁠
⁠
Photographed by Lonnie Wilson, this image captures a moment in the Party’s early history, when Black Panthers organized in Oakland to challenge systems of oppression, defend their communities, and build power.⁠
⁠
Six decades after the Party’s founding, its history remains an important part of Oakland’s story. Explore photographs, artifacts, and firsthand accounts in the Black Power section of the Gallery of California History at OMCA. See videos featuring former Black Panther Party members, including Tarika Lewis, Bobby Seale, and Ericka Huggins reflecting on the Black Panther Party legacy. Listen to exclusive @bloombergconnects audio to learn how the Panthers' community survival programs were an expression of their love for their community. ⁠
⁠
Visit to reflect on the movements that shaped the Bay Area and continue to influence communities today.⁠
