Breakfast Program
- The girls arrive at the People's Center to a sea of hungry kids, from young ones to teenagers, waiting outside.
- There are guards with rifles standing outside, too.
- Then a police car comes driving by.
- Delphine hands the box to the first Black Panther she sees and the girls head off in search of food.
- A few key figures stand out to Delphine: three girls who promise to be their rivals, as well as a lanky guy with an Afro—the same guy from the telephone booth the night before.
- He confronts them, too.
- Apparently he sees something wrong with the way Delphine and her sisters look, and he really doesn't like that Fern's doll is white. After all, why should a little black girl have a white doll? It's just wrong, he points out.
- Spunky little Fern doesn't take flack from anybody, though, and the other Panthers like her attitude when she shrugs him off.
- Some other members tell this guy—Crazy Kelvin—to back down.
- One of the people who stands up to him is named Sister Mukumbu.
- The girls get some food that reminds us of your classic continental breakfast at a roadside motel, cold scrambled eggs and all.
- While they still hear some ridicule from the other kids, the sisters stick together and stand up for each other. Go team.
