The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense used an assortment of methods, including boycotts, in pursuit of equality and access. This poster was created by Harlem-based BPP members, demanding that public schools "teach [the] HERITAGE and HISTORY" of people of African descent. If these demands were not met, members of the BPP threatened to boycott these institutions.
