Huey P. Newton: The Canadian Connection
By Norman (Otis) Richmond
Huey P. Newton was murdered 20 years ago in Oakland, California during
the month of August. Because Black freedom fighters like George and
Jonathan Jackson, Khatari Gaulden and others lost their lives during
this month, revolutionaries inside the California prison system have
deemed it Black August.
It is August 22, 1989 at about 8:30 a.m. Gwen Johnston, the co-owner
of Third World Books and Crafts (Toronto’s first African Canadian
owned bookstore) phones me. The news is shocking, dreadful even. Mrs.
Johnston is in tears stating, “Otis they have killed Huey”.
