About this listen

Discover the remarkable life of Huey P. Newton...

Some might say that Huey P. Newton was destined to bridge two worlds that rarely intersect. Here was a man who could quote Plato’s Republic as easily as he could navigate the dangerous streets of Oakland. His mind was as sharp as his street instincts were keen, and this unique combination allowed him to transform simmering frustration and deep-seated anger into something far more powerful—the Black Panther Party. This revolutionary movement would shake the very foundations of American society.

Yet Newton’s revolutionary path was anything but smooth. His confrontations with the law became as legendary as his political activism—from his early brushes with authority to the fateful night in 1967 when a traffic stop escalated into a deadly shootout that left one police officer dead and Newton facing murder charges. The ensuing “Free Huey!” campaign transformed his legal battles into a rallying cry for the movement, even as he navigated trials, imprisonment, and eventually fled to Cuba to escape further prosecution. His legal troubles would shadow him throughout his life, culminating in the tragic irony that a man who had fought against street violence would ultimately become its victim.

The legacy of Huey P. Newton is complex, controversial, and undeniably powerful—much like the man himself.

Discover a plethora of topics such as:

  • Early life and struggles
  • Founding the Black Panther Party
  • The Mulford Act and the Right to Carry
  • Newton’s Ten-Point Plan
  • From probation to capital murder
