The New Afrikan Black Panther Party (NABPP) is a Black Power and Maoist[1] organization in the United States, largely based in prison[2] and referred to as the New Afrikan Black Panther Party – Prison Chapter (NABPP-PC).
The party was founded in 2005 by Kevin Rashid Johnson and Shaka Zulu (Zulu Sharod)[3] with support from Native American activist Tom Big Warrior.[4] The NABPP-PC claims to follow the “class-based ideological line of the original Black Panther Party" while rejecting the “race-based, anti-white” politics of the New Black Panther Party.[4] The party also claims continuity with the Black Panther prison chapter as developed by George Jackson and W. L. Nolen in 1971.[5]
Party leaders were active in the 2016 U.S. prison strike and claimed retribution from prison authorities for their involvement.[6]
In January 2021, FBI agents interviewed Shaka Zulu on involvement in the Capitol attack; Zulu denied any involvement and considered the interview "harassment." Moira Meltzer-Cohen of the National Lawyers Guild viewed the interview as part of wider attempts by the FBI to target left-wing organizations following the Capital attack.[3]
