Dallas, TX Author Publishes Memoir

By: PR Leap
(PRLeap.com) "We Are Balogun," a new book by Yafeuh Balogun, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

A definitive historical account of the grassroots movements that have shaped the landscape of community defense and activism in North Texas.

The book provides a primary-source look into the organizing journey of Guerrilla Mainframe, a movement that originated in 2007 as the "People's Lunch Counter" (PLC) in Dallas's Pleasant Grove neighborhood. Co-founded by Balogun and Erick Khafre, and later named by Seidah Williams, the organization eventually evolved into a pillar of local resistance.

"We Are Balogun" also details a pivotal moment in 2014: the formation of the Huey P. Newton Gun Club. Established by Yafeuh Balogun, Rakem Balogun, and Babu Omowale in response to the police killing of Clinton Allen, the club garnered international attention for its commitment to community empowerment through armed self-defense.

Key highlights of the book include:
  • The Dallas Black Panther Legacy: An exploration of the Original Black Panther Party's roots in Dallas, tracing its trajectory from 1969 to its official 1973 founding by Fahim Minkah.


  • Historical Internal Conflict: An inside look at the 1970s dissolution of the Dallas chapter following Minkah's refusal to return to Oakland-a direct challenge to orders from Huey P. Newton.


  • A Lineage of Defense: A comprehensive timeline connecting the 1988 patrols of African American Men Against Narcotics (AMAN) to the modern-day operations of Guerrilla Mainframe.
