I didn’t know much about the Black Panther Party or Huey P. Newton before reading this book – only what I was “taught” in school. And I don’t think Huey P. Newton was mentioned at all. He was an amazing human being. He was functionally illiterate when he graduated from high school and taught himself to read using Plato’s Republic. Not Dick and Jane – Plato! After that, he read widely and formed a lot of the Black Panther’s philosophy from the books he read – Karl Marx, Mao Zedong and the like. He was very intelligent and a great strategist.

In many ways, Black people’s interactions with the police have actually gotten worse since that time. The Black Panthers openly carried firearms in public. Can you imagine if Black people tried to do that today? They also carried law books with them and would read from them to police officers when police officers were trying to wrongly arrest somebody something or otherwise violate a person’s rights. If a Black person tried to pull out a law book today during a police encounter, it would not go over well. The policeman would get mad and the situation would escalate. But back then, it actually worked sometimes.

Sometimes the Black Panthers would come across a policeman stopping a citizen and they would stand at a distance with their weapons to let the police know that they were being watched. Today, people do the same thing by pulling out their cell phones to record these situations. It’s sad that over forty years later, the police still need bystanders to hold them accountable for their behavior.

I learned a lot about Newton and the Black Panthers from reading this book. I still have more to learn and plan on seeking out more books about this topic and time in history. Highly recommended. ( )

Huey P. Newton understood and explained with astuteness the function of an establishment (u.s.a) whose goal is to continue the exploitation and ultimate genocide of Black and Brown working class people. It was through Newtons lived experiences that I learned what the true difference between revolutionary and reactionary suicide is and most importantly, I understood the amount of power people hold.

This book absolutely owns, I finished it in two days. Reading about Huey and the Panthers is beyond inspiring, he speaks the truth. ( )

A fantastic account of one of the most important radical figures of the 20th Century ( )

I loved the quotes from various authors at the start of each chapter, and how the book (which I merely skimmed for lack of time to read properly) reads like a novel, and moves the reader emotionally to feel the pain and anxiety of the author and his environment even as it changes. ( )
