Less Explicit Disability Rhetoric and the Black Panther Party

Schalk argues that in order to truly understand the extent of the BPP's Black Disability Politics we have to look at how the Panthers engaged with disability less explicitly, for instance in the case of the Oakland Community School. By looking at instances where disability is engaged with less explicitly we see how Black Disability Politics is often constructed alongside and interwoven with concerns regarding racism, classism, and misyogny. We also must interpret engagement with disability by Black cultural workers within the historical, racial, and cultural context.
