"Unite for a School Boycott! If the schools do not agree to teach heritage and history…" 1966.
"Initiated in 1966 when California still allowed residents to carry unconcealed weapons in public, Panthers took their guns to the street to defend their community against questionable police conduct (Abron 180). When party members saw a young Black "brother or sister" being interrogated or arrested by a police officer..." Source: Kirkby, Ryan J. "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.

Panther Coloring Book - "Black Brothers Protect Black Children." The Black Panther Coloring Book was released in 1968 and follows the journey of black (or white, depending on how you color them) people from Africa to America, where they apparently all got huge knives and started killing cops. It sort of makes the Black Panthers look like crazy, irrational assholes, which was the point, because it was made by the FBI and sent to white families across the country.

The Black Panther, January 2, 1971
To all revolutionary artists - I would like to take this time to express on behalf of the Black Panther Party our warmest thanks to all revolutionary artists who have given their talents and thoughts to the people through revolutionary art. We would like to say that every artist's work that has appeared in the Black Panther Newspaper this past year has been a great contribution of visual interpretation of the ideology of the Black Panther Party and of the oppressed people of the world.

Huey Newton was arrested in Santa Cruz County on May 11, 1978. He was charged with attempted murder after gun shots were fired during an argument at the Mediterranean Bar in Seacliff Beach. He was later acquitted on July 13, 1978 by Judge William Kelsay, who didn't believe there was enough evidence for Newton to stand trial on felony charges. At the time of his arrest and acquittal, Newton was a resident of Santa Cruz County.
