They’re cutting onions!
It’s been 45 years since Black Panther Jerry "Odinka" Dunigan has gotten the chance to hug his family as a free man. His daughter, Renatta Dunigan, posted several videos on her TikTok showing his emotional meetings with loved ones that have now gone viral. Dunnigan, now 73, had an emotional reunion with his daughter as she picked him up to take him home, then on a welcome home tour.
