Huey Newton
Huey Newton was an American political activist who co-founded the Black Panther Party in 1966 with Bobby Seale.
The Panthers advocated armed self-defense against police brutality and established community programs including free breakfasts for children.
Newton became a symbol of Black revolutionary politics in the late 1960s.
His life was marked by legal troubles, including a manslaughter conviction later overturned, and he was shot to death in Oakland in 1989.
