Shana, this is so important. I semi-recently moved back to the Bay Area, and its so important to share about the Black activism that originated in Oakland, and how important self-care and food is to any activist movement. This is reminding me to go back to the Oakland museum, they currently have a Black Power exhibit on. Thank you!

I love what you write about. I am from New Zealand and my knowledge of American history is not deep and wide. I am grateful to have some gaps filled in. I am also fascinated that your right wing government is targeting the supply of food at schools. What a deep and evil plot that is. Here, our right-wing government has reworked the provision of lunches at schools in entirely wrong ways. It is so eviscerating to see these people leading our countries backwards, and so devastating that people all over the world are supporting governments like these. I really feel for America and I admire people like you who are holding these acts up to the light.

I loved this deep dive and highlight of the Black Panther Party's contributions to free breakfast and self-care.
