Nonfiction: The Black Panthers on Education

 


You read Assata Shakur's Chapter 10, which ends with her going back to school. Here, you can read about her experience in college and with education in Chapter 12, but first, I'd like you to read another text on education from Black Panthers founder Huey Newton. These two chapters are cut down, but they're still both long. So we're going to try a simple annotation strategy. As you read Newton's chapter, I want you to mark the parts where you see a problem in education P and the parts where you see the consequence of the problem C. Then as you read Assata Shakur's chapter, I want you to mark the problem parts in the same way and look for solutions and mark them S.

Huey Newton, excerpt from Revolutionary Suicide.

Assata Shakur, excerpt from Chapter 12 of Assata: An Autobiography

Finally, putting your reading into practice, write a manifesto, a call to action, following this format: Manifesto for Revolutionary Education.
