The Black Panther Oakland Community School:
Community Archives, Activism, and Storytelling

Invites you to its Summer Fellows Showcase

Over the summer of 2021, ten UCI students have researched the Oakland Community School (OCS), the longest-running community project organized by the Black Panthers.
