Story by Miabelle Bocicault, Dr. Ameer Hasan Loggins, Dr. Christopher Petrella / Guest Edited by Colin Kaepernick / Photography by Shawn TheodoreOn October 15, 1966, Oakland-based activists Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton drafted a roadmap to Black freedom. Originally known as the Black Panther Party's Ten-Point Platform and Program, the document articulated 10 demands and 10 beliefs that formed the basis of the organization.
This movement needs all types of people. From athletes to healers to poets and artists to scholars and lawyers, we need everyone to contribute to the struggle." KYRC is designed to serve as a home base and safe space for young folks — particularly Black youth ages 12-18 — to gain legal knowledge for navigating all-too-common violent encounters with police officers and to thrive in the areas of health, education, tech, self-empowerment and finance. Not only does the camp provide material resources to youth but it also serves as a space where love, joy, courage and honesty are given room to breathe.
To that end, the camp is intentionally intergenerational, too. Seasoned freedom fighters like former Black Panther leader Ericka Huggins and Ambassador Shabazz, Malcolm X's oldest daughter, have each attended a camp."Colin puts love in action," says Huggins.
