Who is a co-founding member of the Black Panther Party and UCSC Alumni?

• A. Huey P. Newton
• B. Malcolm X
• C. Fred Hampton
• D. Bobby Seale

Answer: (A)

Recognizing a person who co-founded the Black Panther Party and is linked to UCSC as an alumnus. The Black Panther Party was started in 1966 in Oakland by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, making Newton one of its original co-founders. In this question’s framing, the UCSC Alumni clue points to Huey P. Newton as the person who fits both parts of the description. Malcolm X and Fred Hampton were important figures in Black liberation, but they were not founders of the Black Panther Party, and Bobby Seale is the other co-founder who is not the UCSC alumnus highlighted here. So, Huey P. Newton is the best answer.
