Beyond the berets and guns, the softer side of the Black Panthers Fifty years ago this month, Huey Newton and Bobby Seale created the Black Panther party in Oakland, Calif. The Panthers are mostly remembered for their black berets, black leather jackets, guns and violence.

Their recollections of running food and clothing drives and medical clinics are a stark contrast to the popular perception of the Panthers.

He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."
