courage doesn’t always roar. sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says, ‘I will try again tomorrow.'

i12bent: Tonight’s OF spotlight falls on this controversial figure who had a distinct impact on US political culture in the ’60s and ’70s: Huey P. Newton (Feb. 17, 1942 - 1989, homicide) - co-founder (1966) and leader of the Black Panther Party, and one of the important African-American activists in the struggle for civil rights and the ability for Blacks to practice self-defense. Despite many attempts by authorities and racially biased police to discredit Newton as a common criminal and a murderer, he consistently proved himself as an intellectual and an organizer and a writer… “The revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution.” — H.P.N. Photo: Huey P. Newton handling Highway 61 Revisited - Stephen Shames, 1970
