What i learned from NPR this Sunday......
Barbeque'N with Bobby Seale
even revolutionaries got to eat!.....
that was the humorous explanation Bobby of the Black Panthers gave for writing the cookbook. The real reason was the cookbook served as a fundraiser to help pay for a youth program by the organization.
More on the Black Panthers to come.......why? just wait and see :)
Do you remember the Black Panthers?
If so, were your impressions of them negative or positive? Please do tell......

I believe in Huey Newton and the black panthers. It's so sad how the fucken U.S. government destroyed this group
oooooo gustavo,
So glad to hear that. I wasn't sure anybody NOT black, felt that way.
I pead ignorance. It's a part of history (which I lived through) that I'm oblivious about.
The little I do know makes me believe that we need modern day black panthers.
Zataod,
don't worry.....that's why there are people around to educate us. I didn't know much either...and am still learning. I want to read more about them after I heard the interview on NPR.
Two excellent books that I highly recommend on the Black Panthers are:
The Black Panthers Speak by Philip S. Foner
The Huey P. Newton Reader by Huey P. Newton Edited by David Hilliard
