Aaron Dixon co-founded the Seattle chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1968. He led the chapter for four years, launching a free breakfast program for children and a community health and legal clinic. Dixon has spent half a decade working for social justice through involvement in electoral politics, community activism, and non-profit organizations. In this event, Dixon will draw on his published memoir, My People are Rising, to discuss his experiences fighting for Black empowerment and racial justice.
