These Icons are the powerful women that lead the pack for representation of black women and black people in the black panther movement. These women, like all black women, were true visionaries. Despite being minorities they all held unique positions in their own right. They saw the struggles, the trials and tribulations and instead of remaining on the sidelines they decided to do something about it. Salute to these black queens that have paved the way for us to continue the fight of the black liberation movement.
