Black Panther Party Co-Founder Huey P. Newton honored with bronze statue

On the intersection of Mandela Way and Huey P. Newton Way in West Oakland sits the bronze bust of Huey P. Newton, Oakland's first public monument honoring members of the Black Panther Party.

Several blocks from where he was murdered in 1989, the bust was revealed on a rainy day in October 2021, created by sculptor and former KPIX journalist Dana King at the request of Huey's widow and president of the Huey P. Newton Foundation, Fredrika Newton.
