📃 Оригинальное описание:
It’s been 35 years since a gang assassinated Black revolutionary Huey P. Newton after living a life dedicated to socialism, the liberation of the Black working class, and fighting the US empire.
Newton (17 February 1942 - 22 August 1989) co-founded the Black Panther Party (BPP), which transformed the Black freedom struggle within the United States, cultivating new dimensions, garnering global attention and forming relationships on the world stage.
While misinformation about the party and Newton abound, the best source of information comes directly from Newton himself. In this clip from the PBS documentary, ‘Eyes on the Prize II’ (1987), he explained the party’s ten-point programme, which defined its objectives. Those included building a socialist economy, fighting for Black community control over neighbourhood institutions, and the right to self-defence for Black and other oppressed people.
In 1967, police arrested Newton for allegedly shooting a police officer, to which he pleaded not guilty. This led activists to launch the ‘Free Huey’ movement to force authorities to drop the charges and release Newton from political imprisonment.
The party also sparked the establishment of other revolutionary groups, such as the Young Lords for Puerto Ricans, the Brown Berets for Chicanos (Mexicans in the US), and Yellow Peril for revolutionaries of Chinese heritage.
Newton, a staunch anti-imperialist, connected the party to revolutionary organisations in China, Palestine and Cuba. He authored numerous books, including his autobiography, ‘Revolutionary Su*cide’ (1973) and ‘Revolutionary Intercommunalism and the Right of Nations to Self-Determination’ (2004). He also has a speech collection titled, ‘To Die for the People’ (1972).
