This just in from former Kansas City Star columnist Steve Penn…
In addition to promoting his book about former Kansas City Black Panthers leader Pete O’Neal – Case for a Pardon – “I’m bringing in the National Alumnae Association of the Black Panther party in October,” Penn says. “I’ll be the host with Charlotte O’Neal – she’s married to Pete ‘Neal.
“It’ll be at all different places around the city,” Penn says, “but principally at the Bruce Watkins Cultural Heritage Center on October 23rd. ”
In the meantime, Penn’s book is available at the local authors table at Barnes and Nobel on the Country Club Plaza, at Barnes and Noble online and on Penn’s website for $28 along with a tee-shirt priced at $20.
Penn is pursuing a defamation lawsuit against the newspaper, which fired him in 2011 claiming that he recycled passages from press releases and passed them off as his own in his column.
Stay tuned….
It should be a soft landing for an old Black Panther coming back home to the cheers of the multitude.

Pete O’Neal’s return should coincide with November elections.

Bring him home, the New Black Panthers are so much different than the old Black Panthers.

Maybe Pete should move to Winston Salem, where the city fathers are erecting a monument where the Panthers shot it out with the Po Po.
