Huey P. Newton, Black Panther Partycofondatore e attivista per i diritti dei popoli neri

Huey Newton è stato il co-fondatore (insieme a Bobby Seale) e il leader del Black Panther Party e Black Power eroe. Come attivista politico per i diritti civili afroamericani, il nazionalismo nero e il socialismo, ha combattuto l'America bianca e la violenza della polizia fino a quando non è stato assassinato.

A political moment in which the Panthers’ most salient ideas would have been given a thorough vetting by our country’s legislature has never existed, but the ten-point program remains as incendiary and intellectually defensible today as it was then, especially in our era of mass incarceration and structural joblessness.

Although Newton will forever be remembered as a controversial figure, there is no denying his work helped unify the black community through education, self-betterment and localized care. It is important to remember Newton as a selfless leader who risked his life for the peoples’ cause. Too often the importance of armed self-defense is erased from the record of the civil rights movement; Newton’s legacy is testament to the importance of those aspects of the movement.
