Kenneth Harding Jr. Community Feed

A year ago on July 16, 2011 19 year old Kenneth Wade Harding Jr. was brutally murdered by the SFPD over a $2.00 transit fare. While the community of Bayiew Hunters Point watched this live, the rest of the world watched the horrific video on youtube. It was evident that something needed to be done to address not only the crime against Kenny and his family but also against the community members that witnessed this crime.

In August 2011 a group of young people from the Bayview, members from Black Star Liner Incorporated stood up against the injustice in their community by the hands of police officers paid by the tax dollars to harrass and at some times kill the civilians by reaching out to the people in Kenny's Plaza (formally known as Mendell Plaza). That interaction came in the form of communication via political and educational literature, OCC complaints and planting the seed for a regular community feed. One year later we are now in our 6th consecutive month.

To date with the guidance of Kenneth Harding Jr.'s Courageous mother Denika Chatman we have been feeding over 100 people and have gone to as many as 150 nutritious lunches that have been passed out. The goal is to make this event occur more than once a month in this community. With the guidance of Denika this month we will be expanding our feed program to various communities that have gone through similar assaults. The best thing that we can do for a grieving mother and family is to help them heal with the community.
