I recognize that you've said you respect her privacy so I will not disclose of her whereabouts and what she is doing now. But as an individual who has been graced by her teachings, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that she would probably love to hear your sentiments. She's a humble but very kind and open woman. Once in a while, she has shared information about her past and she does it willingly - I think to show the significance of its purpose. I do share your belief that she was an oft-overlooked quiet force within the civil rights movement. Next time you should run into her, I say you should approach her and commend her for her work. I've never seen her turn someone away and she's seemed genuinely appreciative of the feedback and support that she gets...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052768646663771712.post-18320963133082725222007-12-26T14:39:00.000-08:002007-12-26T14:39:00.000-08:00Hi Kana,Thanks for visiting and I'm really glad yo...Hi Kana,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting and I'm really glad you got something out of the blog. A lot of Panther kids do seem to be political - I've found a few on the internet. I've also learned since writing this that Ericka does quite a bit of public speaking about her time in the Panthers. <A HREF="http://www.speakoutnow.org/userdata_display.php?modin=50&uid=1568" REL="nofollow">here's</A> a link for her speaking work.Bay Radicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655591736263258814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052768646663771712.post-3986468028153133582007-12-25T23:35:00.000-08:002007-12-25T23:35:00.000-08:00Wow, this was a wonderful article. I am currently ...Wow, this was a wonderful article. <BR/><BR/>I am currently reading Elaine's A Taste of Power, and I am fascinated by the her story as well as the shared story of all the women in the BPP. <BR/>I found your blog when I was googled Ericka's name. I googled Ericka's name because I wanted to know what she's been doing, your article filled me right in!<BR/> <BR/>Do you have any idea what Mai is doing? Did she follow in her revolutionary parents' footsteps. I'm actually more interested in her story as well as the stories of the other children of these Black militants. In Brown's book, many of the BPP women were pregnant during these chaotic years. I'd just like to know how the struggles of the parents affected the progeny. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the information and great websites.
