Roses are red, Violets are blue, There is blood on those flowers, And on the chocolates too!

Huey P. Newton, co-founder and Minister of Defense of the Black Panther Party was assassinated in Oakland, California on August 22, 1989. One of the most significate leaders of the Black Revolution of the Sixties, in recent years prior to his death, Newton had become associated with the African People’s Socialist Party and the Uhuru Movement in Oakland.
The following is one of the last public presentations by Huey on December 28, 1986 at the Oakland Uhuru House. This speech was published in “The Last Speeches of Huey P. Newton.” We have re-published his speech here in honor of one of our greatest African martyrs.

WASHINTON D.C.––As many know, white women got together and decided to hold national women's marches in various places around the world to show the unity of all women. However, from the onset, the African National Women’s Organization (ANWO) understood that this march was indeed going to be a march to address the fears of white women.

Even though the march was fronted by African and other colonized women, the idea for the march started when a white woman from Hawaii, Teresa Shook, went to Facebook to express her outrage about Donald Trump winning the U.S. presidential election.

Her outrage was so great that she created a Facebook event page for a women’s march which quickly grew to over 10,000 attendees within the first week. The event page was followed by the creation of a website that started off with a simple statement of “unity.”

After an African woman, Jacqueline Craig, called the Fort Worth Police department to report an incident in which her 8-year-old son was choked by her white neighbor, her and her two daughters were attacked, arrested, kidnapped and taken to jail.
