Answer 1

The Black Panther Party was formed to fight both racism and capitalism, and to provide access to essential services for the poor in black communities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Black Panther Party was formed in 1966 in Oakland, California, with the goal of fighting police brutality in the ghetto, but there was also an ideological basis behind its founding. Many members believed that capitalism was rooted in the evils of slavery, and therefore, the party aimed to fight both racism and capitalism. Additionally, the party fought for providing access to decent housing, healthcare, education, and other services for the poor in black communities across the nation.
