In 1969, Winston-Salem became the first Southern city to establish a chapter of the Black Panther Party. On the state, local and national level, the chief purpose of the Black Panther Party was to protect African American neighborhoods from police brutality and other forms of oppression. Later the organization offered several community service programs such as the Joseph Waddell People’s Free Ambulance program, which received national acclaim, free breakfast program for school children, and sickle cell anemia testing

The Black Panther Party agitated for meaningful change during turbulent times of social and political upheaval. A special marker was erected in honor of the Party in 2012 at the intersection of East 5th Street and North Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive.
