Black Panther Party (BPP) and Black Liberation Army (BLA) member Kuwasi Balagoon has emerged as a heroic symbol for radical anarchists and some circles of Black radicals in the United States.

The evolution of his politics and his life as an open bisexual add layers of complexity to his legacy. Balagoon's political biography is a long road that includes his activism as a G.I. in the U.
