Detroit.   White Panthers.  " an anti racist political collective founded in 1968 by PunPlamondon,  leni Sinclair and John Sinclair.  it was started in response to an interview where Huey P. Newton,  co~founder of the Black Panther Party was asked what white people could do to support the Black Panthers.  Newton replied that they could form  a White Panther Party.   The counter culture era group took the name and dedicated its energies to a cultural revolution.   The party worked with many ethnic minority rights groups in the Rainbow Coalition."

to avoid the Draft,  my childrens father and i married in 1968 because the only program offered by Peace Corps was for married couples.  Peace Corps mean avoiding the draft.   

at some point,  Huey P. Newton said.    :    Free your mind and your ass will follow.

    Your words here in the post take me back to the summer of 1968. Like it was yesterday.
    We got married that summer but not to go into the peace corp.
