lead five different breakfast programs
helped create a free medical center, and initiates a door to door program of health services which test for sickle cell anemia, and encouraged blood drives.

5. Black Self-Determination
The charge may be made that we are "racists," but whites who are sensitive to our problems will realize that we must determine our own destiny.
In an attempt to find a solution to our dilemma, we propose that our organization (SNCC) should be black-staffed, black-controlled, and black-financed. We do not want to fall into a similar dilemma that other civil rights organizations have fallen into. If we continue to rely upon white financial support we will find ourselves entwined in the tentacles of the white power complex that controls this country. It is also important that a black organization (devoid of cultism) be projected to our people so that it can be demonstrated that such organizations are viable. (quote from Black Panthers)
