“Huey Newton, the co-founder of the Black Panther Party was inspired by Nietzsche to create the slogan "All Power to the People." - [Huey] When we coined the expression "All power to the people", we had in mind emphasizing the word "power" for we recognize that the will to power is the basic drive of man. But it is incorrect to seek power over people. We have been subjected to the dehumanizing power of exploitation and racism for hundreds of years; and the Black community has its will to power also. What we seek, however, is not power over people, but the power of control of our own destiny.”
