American Justice On Trial: People V. Newton

Mon, Feb 3 4:00 P.M. NHPBS (11.1)  

In one of the "trials of the century" that still reverberates today, Black Panther leader Huey P. Newton faced the death penalty for killing a white policeman in a late-night car stop in 1967 Oakland. While Newton and his maverick attorneys boldly indicted racism in the courts and the country, and a groundbreaking jury led by a historic Black foreman deliberated Newton's fate, the streets of Oakland and the nation were set to explode if the jury, as expected, returned a verdict of murder. Note, this film will be packaged with the short "The Truth about Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap" from PBS Digital Studios.
