Blood McCleary, Jorge Aponte, Janet Cyril and Jordan Ford were some of Brooklyn’s initiates. Very few were more than 25 years old; most were teens.
Lumumba Shakur headed to Harlem, and Odinga took to the Bronx. The two chapters worked together, with Shakur and Odinga as co-leaders.
In Harlem, Jamal Joseph, Dhoruba bin-Wahad, Sekyiwa Tabul, Afeni Shakur, Kathleen Cleaver, Deputy Chairman David Brothers and Sundiata Acoli participated. Zayd Shakur joined that summer and Assata Shakur in 1969.

At the time, he said, “I thought you were going to arm me.”
