In The Early Morning Of August 22, 1989, On The Corner Of Ninth And Center Streets In Oakland, Huey Newton Faced Tyrone Robinson And Two Other Drug Dealers, Asking Them For Crack. Robinson Refused, Took A 9-mm Automatic From One Of His Companions And Pointed It At Newton's Head. Huey Stood Still And Said, You Can Kill My Body, But You Can't Kill My Soul. My Soul Will Live Forever! Robinson Shot Him Three Times In The Head. Huey Newton, Once Considered The Nation's Premier Symbol Of Black Resistance To The Entire American Power Structure, Was Pronounced Dead At 6:12 A.m. The Shadow Of The Panther Is The Most Ambitious, Engaging, And Balanced History Of The Black Panthers To Date. It Is Also An Unflinchingly Honest Account Of What Amounts To Human Tragedy. Hugh Pearson's Account Of Huey Newton's Rise To Power And Descent Into Addiction And Powerlessness Is Set Against A Century-long Quest For Civil Rights And Empowerment.^ Beginning With The Formation Of The Brotherhood Of Sleeping-car Porters In The 1920s, Hugh Pearson Then Traces The Development Of Civil-rights Activism Through A Series Of Premier Negro Leaders From Booker T. Washington, W.e.b. Du Bois, And Adam Clayton Powell, Jr.
