The original Black Panther Party in California originated a program in January, 1969 to feed low income children free breakfasts. They funded it on their own along with asking for donations of food and delivered the meals themselves.
“...party members and volunteers went to local grocery stores to solicit donations, consulted with nutritionists on healthful breakfast options for children, and prepared and served the food free of charge.”
History accounts say the later and ongoing US federal programs of breakfasts and now lunches at schools for children originated from the eventual cessation of the Black Panthers’ program. Some children had no meals at home and were falling asleep in class from lack of nutrition or having stomach cramps. Some children said that was the first time in their lives they had eaten a breakfast.
Now a Minnesota racket tie-in to take the money intended for children arose.
Evolution. Or devolution.
