"The county courthouse a couple blocks from the narrator’s campus was the focal point of Huey Newton’s trial and the site of the first integrated demonstration he witnessed — chants of “Free Huey” and large, multiethnic crowds sparked his deeper involvement with the Black Panther Party. That moment of public protest and cross-community solidarity helped pull him into rallies, led to exposure to the Party’s 10-Point Program, and ultimately catalyzed his decision to join when the Party opened an office nearby." - Billy X Jennings
