- The FBI started going after the BPP — COINTELPRO and other repression drew publicity, sympathy, and sometimes increased recruitment.
- Two Black athletes did the Black Panther salute at the 1968 Olympics — the Tommie Smith/John Carlos salute brought national and international attention to Black Power causes and helped boost the party’s profile.
