The work of the Black Panther in fighting psychosurgery shows that their intersectional, race-centered activism was necessarily coalitional and required alliances between nondisabled Black people, non-Black disabled people, and Black disabled people. These alliances were forged by the BPP highlighting the connection between prisons and mental health facilities in a way that did not minimize either experience.

The BPP's work is another example of how Black Disability Politics can be enacted without the need for an explicit mention of disability.
