Radical Reflections: Oakland's Elaine Brown on leading the revolutionary Black Panthers

Musician, author, and most famously a former leader of the Black Panthers Party in Oakland, Elaine Brown is still politically active, still a force of nature, even at 78 years old. Her non-profit Oakland and the World Enterprises is currently about to break ground on a 79-unit affordable housing project on this lot in West Oakland.

She was recruited by former OSS officer Jay Kennedy. He was ONE OF THEM PEOPLE...and he pushed her to be on the Panthers and to rise in ranks so he could use her to infiltrate. Men are dead and died imprisoned because of her.

She did not become leader in the Panthers until late 70s. Men in the Panthers were getting killed/prison since the 1960s

Homie she was some young black chick he was banging. She was young and hot and he was rich with game. She was nothing to him.
