Huey Newton Interview (1989)

I'm not a heavy drinker but the day he was murdered I got drunk.I haven't been drunk since. It affected me horribly. He was still fighting the fight while many of us black people went on about our daily business. Meanwhile he was still be persecuted with all our weight on his shoulders! I still cry I still cry. I'm in the fight to and I will never stop until it is my time to leave here!

“You can kill my body, and you can take my life but you can never kill my soul. My soul will live forever!” 🌹🌹🌹Huey P. Newton 🌹🌹🌹

My father was a Panther, Dr Huey changed all of our lives. We’re still militant, sworn to protect our families and our people. Black Power!

The fact that Dr Huey was illiterate as a teen yet went on to earn a PhD and change the American landscape by starting the BPP and incorporating the breakfast programme that has helped millions and millions of children, amongst MANY other things, and he never lived to see his 50th earth strong just shows us what an amazing man he was. To go from being systemically ignored by society, to a revolutionary threat to America, and by extension the world, while enacting sweeping change will never not blow my mind. Rest in Peace, Huey P. Thank you for everything.

This guy is a hero, He's well educated, He's very polite, Stands up for his rights, Stands up for the rights of others, Speaks out against oppressors and racists, Gone but not forgotten!

The media made this man seem like he was a racist and a thug but he was so much the opposite. Great leader and human.

I’m not african american nor even american but i can only feel profound admiration for this man. Rip

R.I.P. to filmmaker and television producer Henry Hampton, who made this interview happen, he was the chief producer of the critically acclaimed PBS documentary series, "Eyes On The Prize" 1 and 2 series, "The Great Depression" series, "Malcolm X: Make It Plain" among others. Parts of this interview appears in "Eyes on the Prize 2". HH work is deeply missed by all of us who have a great interest in history. Bobby Seale co-founder of "The Black Panther Party" said during a book signing that I attended, that Huey P. Newton was clean and sober when this important interview was conducted.

This is after he spent 3, 4 some odd years in prison being psychologically tortured and subjected to experimental mind control. Many who were close to him said he was different after that. Still a great man who never quit until his untimely demise.

These type of men are the real Gangsters these type of men really stood for something R.I.p Huey P Newton💪💪💪😎😎😎

His eyes. You can feel his pain also the courage that he had in his eyes.

I had the honor of getting to know this brother as I was a teen. At the time he was just released and he moved into my mom's rental unit. I use to just enjoy his conversations with me and how great of a beautiful soul he was. Man the day he was killed it hurt me to the core as I felt I had just lost a older brother. That's what he was and meant to me. Love you big bro. Thank you and the BP brothers and sisters for your lifelong work. We all owe you all beyond words can express. Stick brings tears to my eyes. Rest in Heavenly eternity 🙏🏽

Such a brilliant, visionary man, now I see why they were afraid of him. Rest in peace Chairman🙏

He sat for this interview on May 23rd, 1989...murdered on August 22nd, 1989. 91 days.

RIP Malcolm X Fred Hampton Huey P Newton they were fearless freedom fighters

@16:25 The only time gun control was embraced in the US was when the Black Panthers started exercising their gun rights. What a coincidence! 😒

This is fascinating, I had never heard Huey Newton speak before

Our brother was brilliant. I was sad when this interview ended. I give thanks to all those who walked before us, clearing a wider path for the future of our people. Peace.

This man is a legend. I need to be more like him
