✊🏿🎬#ArtIsAWeapon @independentlens' "The First Rainbow Coalition" premieres tonight (1.27.2020) at 10:00PM ET on @pbs (check local listings). www.pbs.org "Finding common ground isn’t easy. This is the account of the groundbreaking 1960s Chicago alliance between the Black Panthers, the Young Lords, and the Young Patriots... In 1969, the Chicago Black Panther Party began to form alliances across lines of race and ethnicity with other community-based movements in the city, including the Latino group the Young Lords Organization and the southern whites of the Young Patriots organization. Banding together in one of the most segregated cities in postwar America to collectively confront issues such as police brutality and substandard housing, they called themselves the Rainbow Coalition. By 1973, the coalition had collapsed under the weight of relentless harassment by local and federal law enforcement. Although short-lived, it had an outsize impact: Breaking down barriers between communities, it created a permanent shift in Chicago politics and an organizing model for future activists and politicians across the nation. The First Rainbow Coalition tells the movement's little-known story through rare archival footage and interviews with former coalition members." #FirstRainbowPBS #BlackPanthers #YoungLords #YoungPatriots #PBS #independentlens #IndieLens #independentlenspbs #documentary #independentfilm #rainbowcoalition #fredhampton #unity #organizing #policebrutality #substandardhousing #BlackGirlFilmGeeks🤓 #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon https://www.instagram.com/p/B70xtHGgEv6/?igshid=1p5qstdbqs7cf

"We can unite on the concept of poverty, everything becomes colorless" ✊✊🏻✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #BlackPanthers and #YoungPatriots

Bobby Lee Rush of the Chicago #BlackPanthers speaks to the #YoungPatriots of Chicago in how they can unite and address the problems that poor whites within Chicago were facing. I find it so interesting that this is never talked about and in today's society many of these liberal groups who try to re-invent themselves as products of these movements often forget or lack the understanding that to unite an oppressed people is to unite oppressed people of all colors. As Bobby Lee continue to say before he was cut off, "the panthers are here for uptown, for anyone who loves in uptown. [whether it be] brown , green, yellow, purple or pink."

I'm blown away The more I find out about the #YoungPatriots involvement with the black panthers, they aimed to stand up for their " oppressed white community" as described in their 10 point program which was modeled after the black panthers. They fought against police brutality and facism.
