The Watts Riots

Huey, P. Newton and Bobby Seal were already very politically radical when this happened. Huey became convinced that none of these ideological organizations could reach black people on the street who didn't have a thorough grounding in political theory. He wrote about it in his autobiography, quote, I got very frustrated with those cats. They had a lot of paranoid hang ups and they began to accuse me of things. And he broke loose from them one night and busted down their beds.
