Savant's words to me

From http://www.topix.com/forum/afam/T83C5VG0OM8C8STMN#c11

I actually came a across that book, COLLECTIVE COURAGE, while visiting an old lefty bookstore. Have to wait for pay day to get a copy, however. If you're ever in Baltimore, Md. try to check out a bookstore café called RED EMMAS. Also, look up BLACK CLASSICS PRESS run by Paul Coates, former leader of the Baltimore chapter of the Black Panther Party. You know, my mom started buying the Panther newspaper after Dr. King was murdered. Sometimes she and her more "conscious " church sisters would raise money and even cook stuff for the BPP breakfast program. Now that former Bmore BPP leader has recently gotten out of prison, I'm trying to discuss with him how much of the Panther program might still be useful. Yes, the Panther, SNCC and others did advocate cooperatives King supported such efforts under the leadership of sister Fannie Lou Hamer. Robert Allen proposed cooperatives as part of the revolutionary process in his book called BLAK AWAKENING IN CAPITALIST AMERICA, and way back in 1940 W.E.B. Du Bois was advocating cooperatives in his book entitled DUSK OF DAWN (in chapter called "The Colored World Within"). This legacy should be continued.
