He recalled being held back in the third grade for not knowing how to read. The teacher never questioned if he was dyslexic, even when he spelled his name "HAON".

Black [x].
He joined the panther party in the summer of '69. He wanted to help kids like him. "BLACK POWER" to him meant uplifting castaways, Saints in disguise.
