Black Panther Militia
The Black Panther Militia was a militant Black Power organization and militia based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the United States during the 1990s. 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.

The Black Panther Militia was eventually absorbed by the New Black Panther Party by 1998, as that group sought to expand its influence while McGee stood back from politics.
