We have more posting for you. All of them with new and updated information. This is a News Post looking back at our history. Educate yourselves. Black Power comes with Education.
In January, 1969, the Free Breakfast for School Children Program was initiated at St. Augustine''s Church in Oakland by the Black Panther Party. The Panthers would cook and serve food to the poor inner city youth of the area. Initially run out of a St. Augustine''s Church in Oakland, the Program became so popular that by the end of the year, the Panthers set up kitchens in cities across the nation, feeding over 10,000 children every day before they went to schoolPhoto: Nancy Thompson ,Black Panthers'' Free Breakfast for Children'' program (Oakland, 1971)
Amiri Baraka, also known as LeRoi Jones
and Imamu Amear Baraka born October 7, 1934, was a writer and poet of
drama, fiction, essays and film and music criticism was the author of
numerous books of poetry and taught at several universities,
including the State University of New York at Buffalo and the State
University of New York at Stony Brook. He received the PEN/Beyond
Margins Award in 2008 for Tales of the Out and the Gone.
Baraka''s
career spanned nearly 52 years, and his themes range from black
liberation to white racism. Some poems that are always associated
with him are "The Music: Reflection on Jazz and Blues",
"The Book of Monk", and "New Music, New Poetry",
works that draw on topics from the worlds of society, music, and
literature.
In the Black community, some compare Baraka to James
Baldwin and recognize him as one of the most respected and most
widely published black writers from the mid-1960s through 90s.
Baraka''s plays, poetry, and essays have been described by scholars
as constituting defining texts for Black culture. Amiri Baraka died
on January 9, 2014.
In 1913, a young 10-year-old girl named Sarah Rector was given a 160-acre parcel of land in Oklahoma, simply because she was part of a land allotment program. But since the best land was reserved for white people, they gave her what was considered barren, unproductive land. What no one could have predicted was that oil would later be discovered on that very land. This unexpected turn of events made Sarah one of the first Black millionaires in the country, proving that even in a world set against her, destiny had other plans. From barren land to boundless fortune, Sarah’s story is a testament to resilience and luck.
We intend to get into greater details about Community, Organization, Deterrence and Enforcement in later postings. But today we hope to pay homage to Black history. So many World events have piled up in the last few or five months. There will be so much to teach and explain to all struggling Black People in need of Black Pantherism. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE.
