Huey Newton was trending on Twitter on Wednesday (November 10). But all of the chatter surrounded Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y’s latest collaboration titled “Huey Newton,” not about the legacy of the late Huey P. Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense.
Well, at least Wiz and Curren$y are making their fans aware of Newton’s exploits as a community organizer and activist in song, right? Wrong. A listen to “Huey Newton” reveals its connection with the famed leader begins and ends with the song’s title. Still, to a degree, African-American history will always be intertwined with rap history.
A cursory look at Newton’s story reveals him to be one of history’s most profound figures. In 1966, Newton, along with Bobby Seale, founded the Black Panther Party, assuming the role of Minister of Defense. While most of the attention is given to its members donning black leather jackets and toting shotguns while promoting Black Power, the civil rights group were so much more. Ending police brutality, free healthcare, better housing—all of which resonate in 2010—are just a fraction of the militant group’s goals and ambitions.
