From 1972-1981, the Panther Party instituted a series of "Survival Programs," for the black community. Programs like classes in education to combat revisionist white textbooks, breakfasts for children, sickle-cell anemia testing and the use of the church as a platform for survival and change. Huey Newton here acknowledges the role that the black church had traditionally played in bringing about change during and after slavery. The early period of Christianizing the slave, and second period beginning with Nat Turner, as an ideal of militancy, and the "Survival Program."
