Then go see Elaine Brown speak at The University of Akron at 9 a.m. on Saturday, October 7. Brown is the former chairwoman of the Black Panther Party, and one of the organization's most formidable historians. Her daughter, Ericka Abram, who currently resides in Akron, says her mother is an expert at loading a .45 and changing a diaper all at the same time — skills only a real woman could acquire.
