The First Rainbow Coalition
In 1969, the Chicago Black Panther Party began to form alliances across lines of race and ethnicity with other community-based movements in the city, including the Latino group the Young Lords Organization and the Southern whites of the Young Patriots organization. Formerly titled Time of the Phoenix: The First Rainbow Coalition tells the movement's little-known story through rare archival footage and interviews with former coalition members.
