Revolutionary Suicide by Huey P. Newton

4.0

Many people misunderstand The Black Panther Party. From why it was founded, to the lives of its members. Even those with the best intentions, often reduce the organization to black leather jackets, berets, and guns. 'Revolutionary Suicide' offers something deeper. Something that you cannot get from Netflix documentaries, and threads on Twitter. Huey P. Newton was a person that truly thought about everything, and you can tell this by the way he often goes on tangents throughout this book. He wasn't a man who didn't claim to hold all of life's knowledge, he was actively searching for answers himself. From teaching himself to read after high school, to starting dialogue with other prisons during his lengthy trials - one thing you can take away from 'Revolutionary Suicide' is the need for community if we want true revolution.
