The Enduring Legacy of Portland's Black Panthers: The Roots of Free Healthcare, Free Breakfast, and Neighborhood Control in Oregon

Drawing on original interviews, first-hand accounts, and police surveillance records, Joe Biel tells the story of the Black Panther Party's Portland chapter. He shows how their community programs, including free breakfasts, free health clinics, and neighborhood organizing, left a legacy that still shapes Portland today, from school breakfast programs to the city's neighborhood associations and even the Oregon Health Plan.
