The Us Organization and the Panthers - The Story of the Black Panthers

J. Edgar Hoover sent a memorandum to 14 FBI field offices in 1868 noting that a state of gang warfare existed between The Us Organization, a black nationalist group and The Panthers. He took notice of this and ordered what he called imaginative and hard-hitting counterintelligence measures aimed at crippling the BPP. They did whatever they could to stoke hatred between both groups, including having their paid informants spread rumors about either side. Raising the temperature, that was the goal. And this all came to a boil at an event your father was at. It was January 17, 1969, when Al Prentiss Carter and John Huggins were gunned down by us members on the UCLA campus.
