Paragraph for Module 6.3.3[edit]
Huey P. Newton was a co-founder and leader of the Black Panther Party (BPP). The party was founded in Oakland California in October 1966 at a time of rising racial tension in the USA.[1] There had been race riots in Harlem in 1964 and Watts in 1965. [2]
Newton was heavily influenced by the black leader Malcolm X and by other revolutionary movements of the period.[3] The party issued a 10-point plan and advocated for black people to carry weapons and confront police(ref required).
Newton was jailed in September 1968 for the manslaughter of a police officer, John Frey. (ref required) Following a campaign by supporters Newton was released in August 1970. Following his release, he wrote Revolutionary Suicide. The book covered his life from his early days in Oakland up to his trip to China in 1971.
Practicing citations[edit]

In this article Johnson argues that Newton sat in a tradition of conservative rhetoric and he and the Black Panther Party, which he lead, were not the quite the outside dangerous threating force portrayed in the contemporary media. [5]
