This is an important read that contains the impactful and inspiring memoir of one of the Co-Founders of the Black Panther Party, Comrade Huey P. Newton.

Tracing the birth of a revolutionary, Huey P. Newton's famous and oft-quoted autobiography is as much a manifesto as a portrait of the inner circle of America's Black Panther Party. From Newton's impoverished childhood on the streets of Oakland to his adolescence and struggles with the system, from his role in the Black Panther Party, to his solitary confinement in the Alameda County Jail, “Revolutionary Suicide” is unrepentant and thought-provoking in its portrayal of inspired radicalism.

I finished my reading of this book a few days ago. If you haven’t already read it, I encourage you to purchase “Revolutionary Suicide” from a Black Owned Bookstore. I purchased mine from Mahogany Books @ https://www.mahoganybooks.com/

NYPD officers raided encampments at schools like Columbia University and the City College of New York, arresting close to 200 protesters in just one day. The police raid at Columbia in late April was the first on-campus mass arrest in 50 years, with police using riot gear and military-grade weapons against mostly peaceful protesters. ⁣

While Gaza solidarity encampments have been frequently targeted with violence by police and pro-Israel agitators – and over 2,200 people have been arrested – a study found that out of over 550 Gaza protests at U.S. universities, 97% have been peaceful. ⁣
