Maybe you will want to talk to Darius James. As a young man in the 1970's, he applied to be in the Black Panther Party, but was denied on account that they had frozen the registration (watch the interview). He winds a story from "Thug Life" as a tattoo to Tupac's mother Afeni's connection with the Panthers, and then connects it into New Haven in a way that very few storytellers really could. He also explains the root of it is from the name of a tribe in India.
So sit back, relax, enjoy the video. At 6:23, it's possibly one of the more informative interviews you will ever find about real Super Thugs (or superheroes?) here in town.
