Fredrika Newton, widow of Black Panther Party founder Huey P. Newton, read a statement in support of the proposal at Monday’s meeting, noting that an agreement between the Huey P. Newton Foundation and Cloud ensured that the BPP’s history would be preserved there. “[We] believe the appropriate path forward is to support a Black and Oakland-owned redevelopment that will simultaneously welcome us to expanding our footprint at the site.”
