Youths are passed through schools that don’t teach, then forced to search for jobs that don’t exist and finally left stranded in the street to stare at the glamorous lives advertised around them.

More quotes by Huey Newton
To die for the racists is lighter than a feather, but to die for the people is heavier than any mountain and deeper than any sea.
Huey Newton
White America has seen to it that Black history has been suppressed in schools and in American history books. The bravery of hundreds of our ancestors who took part in slave rebellions has been lost in the mists of time, since plantation owners did their best to prevent any written accounts of uprisings.
Huey Newton
There's no reason for the establishment to fear me. But it has every right to fear the people collectively - I am one with the people.
Huey Newton
The Cuban Revolutionary Government has been generous and very considerate to me and my family. I lived in Santa Clara for a few months because I wanted to work in the countryside and get to know the country better.
Huey Newton
The revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution.
Huey Newton
The walls, the bars, the guns and the guards can never encircle or hold down the idea of the people.
Huey Newton
The neighbors were more than neighbors [on Cuba]. They were like part of the family.
Huey Newton
If you stop struggling, then you stop life.
Huey Newton
I think the time is right for organizing and to give Blacks more political - the progressive Blacks, you have to make a distinction - participation, more Blacks in more authoritative positions, in more electoral political positions. But we want the right ones.
Huey Newton
I do not think that life will change for the better without an assault on the Establishment, which goes on exploiting the wretched of the earth.
Huey Newton
You can Jail a Revolutionary but you can't jail the Revolution. You can run a freedom fighter around the country, but you can't run freedom fighting around the country. You can murder a liberator, but you can't murder liberation.
Huey Newton
By surrendering my life to the revolution, I found eternal life
Huey Newton
I expected to die. At no time before the trial did I expect to escape with my life. Yet being executed in the gas chamber did not necessarily mean defeat. It could be one more step to bring the community to a higher level of consciousness.
Huey Newton
You can only die once, so do not die a thousand times worrying about it.
Huey Newton
When you deal with a man, deal with his most valuable possession, his life. There's play and there's the deep flow. I like to take things to the deep flow of play, because everything is a game, serious and nonserious at the same time. So play life like it's a game.
Huey Newton
A rather honored guest of the Cuban government, so I wouldn't experience the problems. I think it would take a black Cuban to really articulate this because I'm being treated in a very generous way.
Huey Newton
Cuba was neo-colony of the United States and still suffers a blockade. So, therefore, the consumer goods and so forth, we don't have here, especially when you leave the city areas it's a spartan life. But what is impressive about it is what is coming about. It's the future that all these socialists look forward to.
Huey Newton
The United States is already antique.
Huey Newton
I think generally speaking, both people are trying to be free from the abuses of the white racist North American authorities. I think that's the one common denominator. The Cubans found a way to liberate themselves and we haven't found the way yet. So that's the difference.
Huey Newton
I would like to add I'm innocent. I am not guilty.
Huey Newton
