Title A name given to the resource Black Panther Rally Description An account of the resource In June 1970, the Black Panther Party held a rally on the steps of the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/33">Lincoln Memorial</a> promoting the proposed "Revolutionary People's Constitutional Convention," to be held that September in Philadelphia. The goal of the Convention was to rewrite the US Constitution to ensure equal rights for oppressed groups, including African Americans, women, and young people. The organizers of the rally chose June 19, or Juneteenth, for its significance as the day in 1865 when enslaved peoples living in Texas were finally freed. Roughly 1,000 people attended the Mall rally.
