As always Judith, you are right on the money! Sounds like there should be more to banquets, galas, and toasts…like a lil side activity call
As always Judith, you are right on the money! Sounds like there should be more to banquets, galas, and toasts…. Realpolitik always leaves me wanting.
There should be a symposium/ conference. There should be 50th anniversary commemorative events. But as an Oakland native who was in high school when the Panthers emerged, I can’t begin to tell you how weird it is to read that the bloodshed, anger, racism and political skullduggery that surrounded the original events will now be the occasion for a museum dinner! Dave Chappelle couldn’t have dreamed up a better comic sketch…
