I used this to see if Giovanni was actually a black panther or just a supporter. It says she was "once a rebellious daughter of the movement". So I'm still a little unsure. I'll have to do more research the black panthers. Some question I have are : were the black panthers like a gang were to become a member a person has to go through some sort of intiation? or was it more like joing a political party? (ie democrat republican)
