Did the Black Panther Party create the WIC -?

Actually NO. WIC was founded by Jim Thorton & Rodney Leonard and based off of a program in Baltimore MD by Dr. David Page and another similar program in Tennessee. While it definitely seems possible, it's incorrect. The Black Panthers DID have multiple amazing programs, but unfortunately, WIC was not one of them. Whoever made the pic that started this claim was either misinformed, or simply thought it would make people care more about the government shutdown of the WIC program if they thought the Black Panther's created it. The WIC program is listed on the Stanford website under "Black Panter Community Programs" because TBP participated in the program and helped get women and children who needed it on the program. There are about 65 programs listed, some were TBP programs, others were other community programs that TBP participated in or supported.
