 The New Black Panther Party (NBPP), or New Black Panther Party for Self Defense, is a U.S. [[interest group, formed in 1989, which calls for nationhood for, and reparations to, [[African-Americans. [1] The [[Black Panther Party disavows it and has announced it has no right to the name. [2] In 1997, the Black Panthers obtained an injunction against the use of the name, which the NBPP ignores. [3] In 2000, it was designated a hate group by the [[Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).[4] According to the Anti-Defamation League, it is "the largest organized anti-Semitic and racist black militant group in America." Originally led by [[ Khalid Abdul Muhammad, it has developed strong ties with the [[Nation of Islam and [[Louis Farrakhan. In 2005, Farrakhan appointed [[Malik Zulu Shabazz, a Washington, DC-based attorney as the new leader.[5] Voter intimidation chargesIn late 2008, it gained brief notoriety when the [[U.S. Department of Justice charged the group and several members with voter intimidation, stemming from an incident at a polling station in Pennsylvania during the 2008 elections. In January 2009, the Justice Department filed charges against the group and three of its members. However, a few months later the [[Obama Administration concluded that the case could not be prosecuted due to lack of evidence. Charges were dropped against all but one of the defendants.[6] The Anti-Defamation League, which offers expert testimony against it, terms the Party "virulently racist."[7] The SPLC, however, has been silent on the recent developments, and has been accused, by [[Carol Swain, of drifting away from its goals and being more focused on criticizing conservatives. [8] Swain, a member of the [[U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, said the Commission is challenging the dropping of charges, and has been investigating the matter. [9] References
