Huey P. Newton Conference at Temple University
Nellie Bailey and Glen Ford

🖨️ Print Article

The Black and Brown Coalition at Philadelphia’s Temple University held a day-long conference on the works of Black Panther Party co-founder Huey P. Newton. Divya Nair, of the Philadelphia Saturday Free School, said radicals must “explore what it means to create knowledge that is in service of the people, rather than profit.” Elias Gonzalez told the conference that Temple’s “African American Studies Department -- and ‘Africology’ -- is riddled with purveyors of white supremacy,” while the teachings of the Black Panther Party are heard “only in whispers.”
