Biography

Larry Little was the coordinator of the National Committee to Combat Fascism — the Black Panther Party chapter — in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. In January 1971 he was arrested with Julius Cornell on charges of accessory after the fact, part of the "meat-truck" frame-up that police used as a pretext to attack the chapter's office (the same episode in which Grady Fuller was arrested). He went on to a long career in Winston-Salem public life, serving many years on the city's Board of Aldermen and teaching at Winston-Salem State University.
