In the late 1960s Black Party for Self Defense (BPP) leaders expressed the view that in the process of raising the consciousness of hurting people, you must first meet their basic needs such as the need for food. BPP food programs served as part of a larger process of mobilizing citizens to join a revolutionary struggle against the US caste system.
