In this episode of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, we visit a 30-foot tall mural on the side of a house in West Oakland, California, which is teaching an often left out part of the history of the Black Panther Party: the women who fueled the movement.

Our podcast is an audio guide to the world’s wondrous, awe-inspiring, strange places. In under 15 minutes, we’ll take you to an incredible site, and along the way you’ll meet some fascinating people and hear their stories. Join us daily, Monday through Thursday, to explore a new wonder with cofounder Dylan Thuras and a neighborhood of Atlas Obscura reporters.
