Building community through food and dialogue

Just like the Panther did it

Books and Breakfast Program was started by IBFA’s Mission Director Tory Russell in October of 2014 in Ferguson Mo. It was started out of two main ideals, to continue the Radical Black tradition started by The Black Panther Party for Self Defense in the late 1960s as a way to meet the people’s basic needs of literacy and food while also being a means to engage the community to later organize them towards community power and control.
