Beyonce pays tribute to Black Panthers and releases political statement at Super Bowl 50  

2/9/2016

Beyonce may have just made one of the most endearing political statements during her 20 year career when she stepped into Levi's Stadium on Super Bowl Sunday. 
Beyonce and her backup dancers wore black leather suits along with black berets, which were similar to the berets worn in Black Panther movement. Just a bit of historical context: The Black Panthers were an organization created in the early 60s by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. The organization promoted militant self defense of minority communities against the U.S. government and fought to establish socialism.
Towards the end of the show Beyonce payed tribute to Malcolm X when the dancers formed an X at midfield.
This year is the 50th anniversary of the Black Panther Party.
