Black August was especially impactful this year supercharged by First Secretary Sulia Paez and Second Secretary Gabriela Castillo of the Cuban Embassy visiting Oakland and San Francisco , speaking about the impact of U.S. blockades on Cuba. The Bay Area tour included events with local activists, artists and community organizations.

The Black Panther Party, founded to end the oppression of Black people, recognized that political solidarity was fundamental but not enough; to fight for freedom, people need to eat, learn and be healthy. In response, free breakfast was offered to children by chapters of the party throughout the country, along with community schools, free health clinics and many other efforts under the banner “Survival Pending Revolution.” Here, Dr. Buck explains the programs as he leads a tour of the Black Panther Museum.
