Huey P. Newton is a co-founding member of which organization?

• A. Black Panther Party
• B. NAACP
• C. Sierra Club
• D. Rotary Club

Answer: (A)

Huey P. Newton is best known for co-founding the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense in 1966 in Oakland, with Bobby Seale. The Panthers built a movement around confronting police brutality and creating community programs—like free breakfast for children, health clinics, and education initiatives—centered on Black empowerment and self-determination. The other groups you see—NAACP, Sierra Club, Rotary Club—were not started by Newton: the NAACP is a long-running civil rights organization founded in 1909, the Sierra Club is an environmental group started by John Muir, and the Rotary Club is a service organization founded by Paul Harris. So the organization Newton helped establish is the Black Panther Party.
