The group was created by a former member of the Black Panther Party and sitting alderman Michael McGee in 1990 and considered itself a successor to the Milwaukee chapter of the Black Panther Party that existed in the early 1970s. McGee, as leader of the group, drew on militaristic outlook and tactics used by the Black Panther Party to draw attention to issues facing the black community in Milwaukee, however, he was often criticized for grandstanding and alienating Milwaukee's white community, including former allies such as Mayor John Norquist, with the use of threats of interracial violence.
