Biography
Larry Little was the coordinator of the National Committee to Combat Fascism, the Black Panther Party chapter in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Police arrested him with Julius Cornell on January 19, 1971, in the meat-truck prosecution; he later received a suspended six-month sentence and served no time under that conviction. In a separate March 8, 1971 proceeding, a judge summarily sentenced Little to thirty days for contempt after he argued that the court was biased and called himself a political prisoner. The U.S. Supreme Court reversed the contempt conviction on January 24, 1972. Little later served for many years on Winston-Salem’s Board of Aldermen and taught at Winston-Salem State University.
