My guest for Episode 8 is Elmer Dixon, one of the founding members of the Seattle Chapter of the Black Panther Party. Next month marks the 50th anniversary of the Seattle Panthers, so I was incredibly honored to have the chance to interview Mr. Dixon about the party’s work in the community and as a community – and about how his experience as a Black Panther continues to inform his life today.
