NEWTON, HUEY P.

Black Panther Party, Southern California Chapter.

Three pages of text, on two long mimeographed pages, stapled at the top; second page

somewhat toned with a small chip from the top of the page, not affecting the text.

[Oakland, circa 1969]

[600/900]

In 1969, Costa-Gavras, the director of the political film “Z”, donated a copy of the film to the Black

Panthers to use for several days in June as a tool for raising funds for legal defense of Panther Party

members. This was done on behalf of all the parties involved in the making of the film: Yves

Montand, Irene Pappas, Simone Signoret et al. Huey Newton, took the opportunity to write the pre-

sent essay on the politics of art with a capital “A.” “Art must be and in fact is, a world that exists

outside of reality.” He makes an intelligent argument, in terms of what the Soviets used to call

“Social Realism.”
