The consistent use of children to publicize the Black Panther Party inspires deep emotions in the viewer because it reminds us of the purpose of the Party’s existence. It is to ensure that young Black children will have opportunities in the future and that they will not experience the inequality that persisted even after the Civil Rights Movement. The image of the child sitting alone, associated with school segregation, may also highlight the segregation that still continues and marginalizes the Black population.
The use of the term “Pigs” demonstrates the major distrust in the Black community against police. The rallying point is that children should have access to proper nutrition in schools. The repeated use of “Pig power” and “piggish nature” shows the population’s rampant anger against city leaders due to incidents such as people being attacked at the rally for school breakfast.
