Meet Huey P. Newton! He was a Black revolutionary and the co-founder of the Black Panther Party. Yesterday would have been his 79th birthday! While we view these figures from Black history as being from the past, in reality their activism was only from about one generation ago! The actions of Newton were monumental in the struggle for Black liberation but the fight still continues today.

Baker was extremely influential during the Civil Rights Movement and established herself among men like W.E.B. Du Bois, Thurgood Marshall and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
