Meeting Room

Join us to celebrate the Free Breakfast for School Children Program developed by the Black Panther Party in 1969.

In January 1969, the Black Panther Party began the Free Breakfast for School Children program in Oakland, CA to cook and serve food to poor inner-city youth. The program was such a success that by the end of the year, the Panthers had set up kitchens across the nation, feeding 10,000 children every day before school. Join us to celebrate this important social program and learn more about the Black Panthers.

This program is intended for all ages. Register for all programs on our Events page, on the ACPL mobile app, or by calling the branch. In an effort to be courteous to our presenters, audience members, and waitlisted registrants:

  • Please arrive prior to the program’s start time.  Registering for a program will not hold your seat after the program’s designated start time
