Black Lives Matter Pours $1M Into Former Black Panther Leader’s Low-Income Apartment Project
29th March 2024
Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation announced Wednesday it will pour $1 million into the Black Panther building, a planned $80 million complex in Oakland, Calif., that will house 79 subsidized apartment units as well as a grocery store, community garden, and fitness center, all run by former prison inmates. Former Black Panther party leader Elaine Brown is spearheading the redevelopment of the building, which stands on the plot of land where Black Panther Party cofounder Huey P. Newton shot and killed a police officer in October 1967.
