About Mark Clark
The Black Panther Party was founded in 1966 by Bobby Seale and Huey Newton. The duo founded the organization while still in college. They shared a firm belief in the power of the African-American community and were both staunch Marxists-Leninists. Among these brave men was Mark Clark, an American activist whose gruesome killing in 1969 led to a nationwide outburst from the black community.
Early Life
The activist's parents were William Clark and Fannie. Extremely concerned about the well-being of the black community, he became a member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). He joined the movement to end racism and discrimination against black people in the United States. He took part in several protests.
Clark had diplomas from both Manual High School and Illinois Central University.
Activism
Clark took notice of the Black Panther Party and joined after some consideration. In order to provide a free breakfast service for the black community, he began organizing multiple safe houses for the black community with the help of churches. Over time, the black community became more outspoken, prompting the FBI to launch a covert operation to undermine the Black Panther Party's leadership structure on the grounds that it threatened the established racial order of American society.
Death of Mark Clark
The Chicago Police raided Clark's safe house in the early hours of 1969. In that raid, both Mark Clark and Fred Hampton, the party's president, were murdered. Clark was struck in the heart. Other Black Panther Party members present at the time suffered severe injuries at the hands of the police.
