After the 1960 California Master Plan for Public Higher Education, more Black students began to attend Merritt. In the early 1960s, the <a href="/wiki/Afro-American_Association" title="Afro-American Association">Afro-American Association</a> began recruiting Merritt students. By 1964, students formed the Soul Students Advisory Council, predecessors to the Black Student Union (BSU).

The two met in September 1962 and shortly after began organizing the Black Panther Party. There were many public displays of unrest on the campus during this time, speaking to the Cuban blockade, the black experience, and other political topics. The two leaders also attended many politically charged classes at the school such as experimental sociology, Black History, and Negro History. This occurred in September 1966 and started as Huey and Bobby brainstorming a ten-point platform. As the two grew closer, they first became involved in local organizations in Oakland only to eventually create their own.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Against numerous protests by students and community members, Merritt was relocated from Grove Street to the hills of East Oakland in 1971.
