- Huey Newton

About this Quote

In this quote, Huey Newton, a prominent figure in the Black Power movement, is highlighting the value of empowering marginalized neighborhoods. He believes that Black Power is about giving power to those who have actually traditionally been denied it, enabling them to have firm and control over their own lives. This includes the ability to shape their own future and determine their own fate. By acknowledging the lack of power and firm that has been enforced upon Black individuals, Newton is advocating for a shift in societal structures to develop a more fair and simply society. He sees Black Power as a means of liberation and self-determination for those who have been oppressed.
