About the event
Leather jackets, guns, and black berets. This is what most of us associate with the Black Panthers. Did you know they were responsible for bringing free healthcare to the community? In fact, Portland had free dental and health clinics, providing community education and activism thanks to the Black Panthers. Join us on Sunday, August 25, from 11am to 1:30pm as Mr. Kent Ford, co-founder of Portland's Black Panther chapter leads ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE: Black Panthers Legacy Tour of Albina. Learn about the Fred Hampton's People's Free Health Clinic, and the many other Community Survival Programs that the Black Panthers created in N/NE Portland in the 1970s. Places hold stories—come walk with us. Buy your ticket and join us.
