Mothers Support Breakfast Program
Politics begins before school
Emma Simms wrote in The Black Panther about a free breakfast programme in New Haven, speaking on behalf of local welfare mothers. The preserved article connects inadequate household resources to a collective response. A meal is not a decorative symbol of solidarity: people must obtain food, cook, serve and clean. The document moves our attention from the heroic image of politics to the labour that makes a child’s morning possible.
