Mission Statement
The Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation preserves and promotes the true legacy and ideals of the Black Panther Party. We commission public art, create educational tools and exhibitions, interpret historic sites, and maintain the largest archival collection on the Black Panther Party worldwide. To elevate our message, we founded and manage the Black Panther Party Museum, the first of its kind, in downtown Oakland, California.
About This Cause
The Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation is a tax-deductible 501(c)3 founded in 1995 by David Hilliard, former Chief of Staff of the Black Panther Party, and Fredrika Newton, Panther and widow of Huey P. Newton. They founded the organization to protect the Black Panther Party legacy and assure it lives on despite COINTELPRO, the FBI’s program to discredit, disrupt, and destroy, Black leaders. In a period when activists, professionals, and scholars alike seek to connect prior and current movements, we created the Black Panther Party Museum for people around the globe to learn, engage with, and be inspired by the teachings of Huey P. Newton and the collective Black Panther Party.
