Huey Newton

Huey Newton was a prominent African American activist and co-founder of the Black Panther Party in 1966. He played a key role in advocating for Black rights, community self-defense, and social justice during a turbulent period in U.S. history. Newton aimed to challenge racial inequality and police brutality through organized activism and community programs. His work combined activism, political theory, and community service to empower marginalized populations. Despite facing legal challenges and controversy, Newton's efforts significantly influenced the civil rights movement and discussions on race, policing, and social reform in America.
