Oakland, CA – On a cool spring day, Fredrika Newton — the widow of Black Panther co-founder, Huey P. Newton — stands next to a bronze bust of her late husband. It's situated in a wide, landscaped median in the west end of Oakland that the Panthers called home.
"The Black Panther Party is an American story, and that's the job of the National Park Service is to tell the American story," Newton says.
