What Is Huey Newton's 10-Point Program

Huey P. Newton was a Civil Rights Leader and Co-Founder of the Black Panther Party. He served as co-founder from 1966 to 1982, helping black people in areas of Oakland and San Francisco. With the help of Bobby Seale and the black panther party, Huey created the 10-point program, which helped protect his community from police brutality and help the youth of the said area by giving them complimentary breakfast. The lasting message of Huey is that African Americans deserve to feel safe in their community without fear of harm and that they also deserve to have access to food and education. What he has done and the impact of his civil service is why Huey P. Newton deserves a national monument.

Now when it comes to Huey's lasting message can be

It all became synonymous with Huey Newton and his 10-point program.

However, on the other side of the argument, many may argue that many of the tactics implemented by Huey in the Black Panther party may seem more intimidating than anything.

To keep Huey’s community safe he decided to set up people who could protect their community from the people who were showing not to protect the community but actively fight against

It sought to give healthy and nutritious food to kids who might not beable to get that food from home or school. This is explained in a description given by Black past, a blog that archives African American achievements and initiatives. Alternatively, it states that the program gave an “ urgent need to give poor children nutritious meals so they could be successful in school.”(Pien, 5).

This program, in particular, has proven itself to be very effective in both helping that community and creating an institution that has helped children for the past 50 years. Because of the scale of this program and the attention given by the government, it created complimentary breakfast in schools something that has proven itself to help children. Giving them food but also to help grow their bodies and minds for the day, thanks to the creation of this program children have been getting things to eat and enjoy for the past 50 years.

Now to get down to brass tax, my ideal proposal for a monument would be a statue of Huey; this would be placed at Oaklands Museum of California it will be placed right in front of the museum. This is a call to say that the Black Panther Party is just as essential to the history of California as anything
