Huey P. Newton's Family: Roots of a Revolutionary Suicide. was undertaken by the author at the request of Prof. Emeritus Melvin Newton (older brother of Huey Newton), Melvin's daughter Tracy Newton and son David Lautaro Newton. The project involved extensive family interviews and research to cover the background of Melvin and Huey P. Newton's parents, Walter and Armelia Newton, the tribal nature of family interactions, the lives of their siblings and other close relatives, their seven children and the collective family impact on Walter and Armelia's youngest son, iconic Black militant Huey P. Newton, who co-founded the Black Panther Party. Newton wrote in his autobiography Revolutionary Suicide -- and testified to a captivated audience in his 1968 death penalty trial -- that an understanding of the treatment of African-Americans since colonial days was necessary to understand who he was and where he came from. That testimony had a profound impact on the jury that had Newton's life in their hands, particularly affecting middleclass Black banker David Harper, who became the jury's revolutionary choice for foreman.
