BLOGGER TEMPLATES AND TWITTER BACKGROUNDS »

Zeke Boyd and Charles Butler were field lieutenants and Reeva White was the secretary. Warren Hart usually led weekly political rallies and/or classes. A free breakfast program was started in 1969 at St. Vincent’s D. Poore’s church at Valley and Eager Street. Shortly after, a free lunch program and liberation school were started. These programs helped the community to come together and maybe change their opinions of the BPP. Some BPP leaders from New York, Don Cox and Henry Mitchell, visited the Baltimore branch on July 4, 1969 to see how it was running. Warren Hart and several others were asked to leave for not following rules. Mahonney Kebe became acting defense captain until someone filled the position. He was also the lieutenant of finance and Reeva White stayed the secretary. Larry Wallace was officer of the day and Steve McCutchen was lieutenant of information.
This is Don Cox who was one of the leaders to let many Panthers go.
