Huey P. Newton: Citáty anglicky

“Laws should be made to serve the people. People should not be made to serve the laws.”

Zdroj: To Die for the People: The Writings of Huey P. Newton

“Rewriting unjust laws is a basic human right and fundamental obligation.”

From "In Defense of Self-defense" I (June 20, 1967)
To Die For The People
Kontext: Men were not created in order to obey laws. Laws are created to obey men. They are established by men and should serve men. The laws and rules which officials inflict upon poor people prevent them from functioning harmoniously in society. There is no disagreements about this function of law in any circle-the disagreement arises from the question of which men laws are to serve. Such lawmakers ignore the fact that it is the duty of the poor and unrepresented to construct rules and laws that serve their interest better. Rewriting unjust laws is a basic human right and fundamental obligation.

“The blood, sweat, tears, and suffering of Black people are the foundations of the wealth and power of the United States of America. We were forced to build America, and if forced to, we will tear it down.”

From "In Defense of Self-defense" I (June 20, 1967)
To Die For The People
Kontext: The blood, sweat, tears, and suffering of Black people are the foundations of the wealth and power of the United States of America. We were forced to build America, and if forced to, we will tear it down. The immediate result of this destruction will be suffering and bloodshed. But the end result will be the perpetual peace for all mankind.

“You can kill my body, but you can't kill my soul. My soul will live forever!”

Last words, quoted in Hugh Pearsons (1994) The Shadow of the Panther, p. 315

“In their quest for freedom and in their attempts to prevent the oppressor from striping them of all the things they need to exist, the people see things as moving from A to B to C; they do not see things as moving from A to Z.”

On the Defection of Eldridge Cleaver from the Black Panther Party and the Defection of the Black Panther Party from the Black Community
To Die For The People

“We realized at a very early point in our development that revolution is a process. It is not a particular action, nor is it a conclusion. It is a process.”
