Regina Davis was an administrator of a school founded by the Black Panthers. She was the assistant of Ericka Huggins. According to Elaine Brown, Davis managed the cooks, maintenance workers, teachers, and other personnel at the school, as well as planning the students' daily activities and weekly field trips and health check-ups. Davis also (again according to Brown) managed the menus and the buying of food and materials, as well as speaking with parents and other schools in regard to current, former, and prospective students. This incident was the point at which Brown could no longer tolerate the sexism and patriarchy of the Black Panther Party (A Taste of Power, by Elaine Brown, 1992, p. 444). Davis's beating left her hospitalized and with a broken jaw.<ref name="auto"/>
