First FREE Breakfast Progam

The Breakfast Program started in 1969 because there was a need to feed children before school. Who started the first program to feed children before school? The Black Panther Party for Self Defense was found in October 1961. Black Panther Party was co-founded by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale to address police brutality in the Black community of Oakland, Ca. From History website: The program was simple: party members and volunteers went to local grocery stores to solicit donations, consulted with nutritionists on healthful breakfast. That started with a handful of kids and increased to hundreds. Other Black Panther Party offices in different parts of the country adopted the Breakfast Program too and was successful.

The Black Panther Party did not receive credit for the positive effort to feed children breakfast before school. Media and the powers-that-be wanted to paint the Black Panther Party in the worst light possible generating fear of Black men with large Afros and guns shouting “Black Power.” The head of the FBI, J Edgar Hoover, declared war on the Black Panther Party and stated the Breakfast Program is, “… potentially the greatest threat to efforts by authorities to neutralize the BPP and destroy what it stands for,” and allowed law enforcement to destroy the program. The Breakfast Program was so successful the government initiated breakfast program shortly after the demise of the Black Panther Party Breakfast Program.

“The TRUTH shall make you free”

#NewYorkStrong

Can you believe that New York, Manhattan was added to the list of independent “terrorist” sites. October 31, 2017, on a Bike path in New York as school was letting out, a independent terrorist ran down unsuspecting people from behind with a Home Depot rental truck. So far, 8 people dead and 11 seriously injured. Who did this? Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, a 29-year-old Uzbek immigrant, who entered the United States in 2010. They are among us waiting.

As a American I can’t help but think about 911 and how the fear of “what’s going on?” raced in my mind as to what I should be doing. I started looking up and observing planes in sky. Now, I think I will always be turning around to see what’s going on behind me after yesterday.

David Walker – ABOLITIONIST

1785 – David Walker is born free in Wilmington, North Carolina.
He will become an outspoken African American abolitionist
and anti-slavery activist. In 1829, while living in Boston,
Massachusetts, he will publish “An Appeal to the Coloured
Citizens of the World,” a call for black unity and self-
help in the fight against oppression and injustice. The
work will bring attention to the abuses and inequities of
slavery and the role of individuals to act responsibly for
racial equality, according to religious and political
tenets. At the time, some people will be outraged and
fearful of the reaction that the pamphlet would have. Many
abolitionists will believe the views are extreme. Historians
and liberation theologians cite the Appeal as an influential
political and social document of the 19th century. He will
exert a radicalizing influence on the abolitionist movements
of his day and inspire future black leaders and activists.
He will join the ancestors on August 6, 1830 in Boston,
Massachusetts. Editor’s Note: Historians disagree on David
Walker’s date of birth. We choose to use the date of birth
cited by the Cape Fear Historical Institute in Wilmington,
North Carolina.
