Free breakfasts with the Black Panthers
The revolutionaries of the Black Panther Party provided free breakfasts for schoolchildren. Reverend Earl Neil was one of the organisers.
The Black Panther Party hit the headlines in the late 1960s with their call for a revolution in the USA. But they also ran a number of "survival programmes" to help their local communities - the biggest of which was a project providing free breakfasts for schoolchildren.
Reverend Earl Neil was one of the organisers of the first Free Breakfast for Children programme at St Augustine's Church in Oakland, California. He spoke to Lucy Burns.
