On of the former Panthers spoke on the UMKC campus a few years ago to
a large crowd of students. Forget who is was.

Angela Davis gave the MLK keynote earlier this year at UMKC and that
was attended by several thousand people.

Not surprised that the breakfast program triggered the FBI. Over the
years, the authorities always overreact to similar programs. Just look
at all the repression against Food Not Bombs and the recent
revelations in Pennsylvania and Iowa.
