Thanks for helping me.

(5,252 posts)Was an early civil rights advocate and radical and a founding member of the Black Panthers in Chicago. Radicalized but then got a Theological degree and became a political force in the Black Community. Only one to ever defeat Barack Obama when he ran against him for Congress!
