Help us Commemorate the Black Panther Party in Illinois

Historical Markers Fund

Help us raise the remaining funds before March 1st

Help place historical markers at demolished Black Panther Party sites in Chicago.

The Historical Preservation Society of the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party has successfully achieved a Thematic Listing for the Black Panther Party in Illinois on the National Register of Historic Places.

All proceeds from this fundraiser will go to our Historical Marker Fund. Your donation will help us order and install historic markers at key Black Panther Party Locations in Illinois. Just about all of these sites have been demolished. Our markers will commemorate the work of the Party for years to come.
