DESCRIPTION:Presented in conjunction with "Vanguard Revisited: Poetic Politics & Black 
 Futures," SFAI is thrilled to host Barbara Easley-Cox and Ericka Huggins in 
 conversation with faculty Dewey Crumpler to discuss the Black Panther Party 
 and its continuing relevance. The Black Panther Party's multifaceted 
 approach to community activism, together with strong political education 
 campaigns, coalitions with local and national organizations, and 
 international relationships built from legacies of organizing within Black 
 communities, created a template for decades of organizing to come. Barbara 
 Easley-Cox and Ericka Huggins worked both locally and internationally for 
 the Black Panther Party and their work continues to be foundational in 
 leading a culture of resistance.\n\nBarbara Easley-Cox is a civil rights 
 activist, teacher, and advocate for literacy. She joined the Black Panthers 
 Party in 1967, led the San Francisco branch with her husband and later 
 worked in the New York and Philadelphia chapters. She participated in the 
 Free Breakfast for Children Program, collected apparel for the Free 
 Clothing Program, and aided in other survival programs hosted by the Party. 
 Easley-Cox traveled around the world, spreading chapters and involvement of 
 the Black Panther Party to Algeria and Germany alongside well known Panther 
 Kathleen Cleaver. She continues working as an advocate for community 
 development, poverty, and social justice.\n\nEricka Huggins is a human 
 rights activist, poet, educator, Black Panther leader and former political 
 prisoner. She has lectured throughout the United States and 
 internationally. In 1968, at age 18, she became a leader in the Los Angeles 
 chapter of the Black Panther Party with her husband John Huggins. As a 
 result of her 14-year tenure as a leader of the Black Panther Party (the 
 longest of any woman in leadership), she brings a unique, complete and 
 honest perspective to the challenges and successes of the Black Panther 
 Party and, its significance today.\n\nFree\n
