"You will not catch me with a free 15 minutes, in which I’m not studying something that I feel might be able to help the black man. Yesterday I spoke in London , and both ways on the plane across the Atlantic , I was studying. Every time I catch a plane, I have with me a book that I want to read, and that’s a lot of books these days, If I wasn’t out here battling the white man everyday, I could spend the rest of my life reading. Reading changed the course of my life forever. I didn’t go to college, my alma mater was books."

That time police peed on food for hungry children...

Bobby Seale Checks Food Bags, 1972 - Howard Erker

Free Breakfast for Children Program and The People's Free Food Program, 1969-1980.

In the early years up to 36 programs were running nationwide, feeding tens of thousands of children and poor families. The great success of this program was viewed as a threat by FBI director J Edgar Hoover:

"Hoover recognized that through the program the Panthers captured the loyalty of many black children by giving them free breakfasts. He was also angry that the breakfast program won liberal whites’ and moderate blacks’ support for the Panthers. Hoover perversely justified FBI attempts to destroy the program because it “is potentially the greatest threat to efforts by authorities to destroy what it [the Black Panther Party] stands for.” The FBI’s attempts to destroy the program included sending forged letters to stores to discourage them from donating food, spreading rumors that the food was poisoned, and even raiding sites while children ate."

And then there's such as this:

Despite such as this, the programs continued helping people in need for many years.

The Seattle chapter of the Black Panther party was the last to hold out, members managing to continue the breakfast program until around 1980, even after the chapters own demise in 1977.

The Black Panther's food programs directly led to the development of the national school breakfast program, and has inspired community based revivals ever since.

Also:

Other less well known services also existed included a Free Shoe Program, and the People's Free Clothing Program which provided quality clothing to Black communities. This program helped children get winter clothing to attend school and helped adults find suitable attire when seeking employment.
