Lowndes County Freedom Organization
The Lowndes County Freedom Organization (LCFO), also known as the Black
Panther Party, was started in 1965 under the direction of Student
Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) activist Stokely Carmichael.
In 1965, Lowndes County in Alabama was 80% black but not a single black
citizen was registered to vote. Carmichael arrived in the county to
organize a voter registration project and from this came the LCFO. Party
members adopted the black panther as their symbol for their independent
political organization.
