I was a member of the Black Panther Party from Texas. Chip was already incarcerated when I came into the Party in 1970. Although I never met him personally, being in the party meant that you felt like all of our political prisoners were like family, comrades who were political prisoners because of their involvement with the Party. Chip holds a special spot in our hearts because he has been incarcerated for so long while remaining a revolutionary. His sacrifice is part of a legacy of struggle that we all have benefited from, my generation and yours.
