Folks I’ve got them hungry blues
And nothin’ in this to lose
People tellin’ me to choose
Between dyin’ and lyin’ and keep
on cryin’
Tired of them hungry blues
Listen ain’t you heard the news
There’s another thing to choose
A brand new world clean and fine
Where nobody’s hungry
And there’s no color line
A thing like that’s worth
anybody dyin’
I ain’t got a thing to lose
But them doggone hungry blues
James P. Johnson

In August, a friend heard Taylor Branch speak at Chautauqua Institute. Over lunch, he mentioned that several women in Haynesville, AL had actually conceived of the Black Panthers and that not much had ever been written about them. Can you tell us more about these women and their chapter in history? Thank you for direction.

Insightful read. I have stumbled and twittered this for my friends. Others no doubt will like it like I did.
