Felix “Pete” O’Neal Jr., former chairman of the Kansas City chapter of the Black Panther Party, found a new chapter of purpose in Tanzania.
Encouraged by then-President Julius Nyerere, who championed Pan-African solidarity, O’Neal was welcomed into the country and dedicated himself to community service.
In Tanzania, he turned his energy and leadership skills toward uplifting local communities, embodying a spirit of service, collaboration, and empowerment.
His story highlights the positive impact of cross-continental solidarity and the transformative power of committing to the common good.
