Huey Percy Newton was a founder and leader of the Black Panther Party in Oakland, CA. This organization was started in December of 1966, and advocated the use of guns and guerrilla tactics to bring about the overthrow of the United States Government. Bobby Seale and other Black Panthers picketed a film being made by the Black Panther Party in Oakland, as they felt some of the profits from the film should go back into the black community. It was reported that Huey Newton extorted money from the business operating in the Oakland-Berkeley area. Huey P. Newton was born on February 17, 1942. This release is only a partial release of material on Huey Newton.
