Aaron Dixon (L) and Barbara Easley-Cox listening to the audience during the "Revolutionary Grain" panel discussion. A panel of Black Panthers and author/photographer Suzun Lucia Lamaina spoke at California State University San Marcos. Dixon was one of the co-founders of the Seattle chapters of the Black Panther Party, and had a hand in the establishment of Black student unions at local Seattle high schools. Easley-Cox was involved with the Black Panther Party in the 1960s and 1970s and was involved in initiatives around food and clothing, as well as involved in the international section of the BPP.

The "Revolutionary Grain" panel discussion was hosted by the Black Student Center on September 20, 2017, and focused on the history and legacy of the movement. A companion exhibit was held at the University Library as part of the ongoing Context Exhibit Series, a long-standing instructionally related Library program designed to support student learning and research and to foster community discussion and engagement through the use of art.
