we caught up to former Black Panther Party chair Elaine Brown who spoke to us outside of 330 Ritche in San Francisco... She talked to us about political prisoner Chip Fitzgerald a Black Panther who has served 40 years in jail..stemming from an incident in which he defended himself from LA police.

Elaine explains the widespread influence of the Black Panthers and how they impacted the early gangs in both New York and LA leading up to the birth of Hip Hop. She explained that those early gangs had a revolutionary outlet that made them targets bby the police who sought to 'neutralize' them.
