- Bob Lee (community organizer)
Bob Lee was a high-ranking and influential advisor to Fred Hampton in the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party.
Lee graduated from a class taught by Saul Alinsky for those who were interested in working as community organizers. He was a catalyst in forming the original "Rainbow Coalition" of the Black Panther Party, the Young Lords, the Young Patriots, and other grass roots organizations, and was a principal facilitator in its operation.
In the 1990s Lee collaborated with writer Patricia Smith Prather in his native state to establish the Texas Trailblazer Association, which publishes biographies of distinguished African-American figures. Lee is known throughout his hometown of Houston as "Da Mayor of Fifth Ward", where his community-oriented activities continue.
