Muhammad Ali (1942-2016) was an American former heavyweight champion boxer and one of the greatest sporting figures of the 20th century. An Olympic gold medalist and the first fighter to capture the heavyweight title three times, Ali won 56 times in his 21-year professional career. Ali’s outspokenness on issues of race, religion and politics made him a controversial figure during his career, and the heavyweight’s quips and taunts were as quick as his fists. Born Cassius Clay Jr., Ali changed his name in 1964 after joining the Nation of Islam. Citing his religious beliefs, he refused military induction and was stripped of his heavyweight championship and banned from boxing for three years during the prime of his career. Parkinson’s syndrome severely impaired Ali’s motor skills and speech, but he remained active as a humanitarian and goodwill ambassador.

Day X:

Bayard Rustin (1912 – 1987) began his career in activism when he was just a child by protesting against segregation alongside the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Throughout his life, Rustin was involved in countless boycotts, protests, and initiatives aimed at protecting the civil rights of all minority groups. He was an expert in non-violent resistance having studied in India with leaders of their independence movement and organized many demonstrations of his own. Bayard played a pivotal role in the Black Civil Rights movement as an advisor to Martin Luther King Jr. Leaders of the movement asked Bayard to stay out of the public spotlight, for fear of being associated with what was at the time his “illegal” life as a gay man. Rustin continued to advocate for civil rights until he died in 1987, including LGBT rights, a cause he adopted in the latter part of his life.

Huey Percy Newton (February 17, 1942 – August 22, 1989) was a revolutionary African-American political activist, scholar, and grassroots organizer. He, along with Bobby Seale, co-founded the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense in 1966. Newton was born in Louisiana but migrated to Oakland, California with his family. He taught himself how to read and then went on to attend Merritt College in Oakland and the San Francisco School of Law. While at Merritt he met Bobby Seale. In Oakland, in 1966 they formed the Black Panther group in response to incidents of alleged police brutality and racism and as an illustration of the need for black self-reliance. At the height of its popularity during the late 1960s, the party had 2,000 members in chapters in several cities.

Under Newton’s and Seale’s leadership, the Black Panther Party was primarily concerned with its armed citizens’ patrols to monitor the behavior of officers of the Oakland Police Department. The Panthers forcibly challenge police brutality in Oakland, California. In 1969, the Panthers also added to their platform various community social programs that became a core activity of party members. The Black Panther Party instituted a variety of community social programs, most extensively the Free Breakfast for Children Programs, which was the forerunner of the free lunch programs that are a staple in our public school systems today.

Edgar Hoover, the leader of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) viewed the Black Panthers as enemies of the state and launched COINTELPRO, a series of covert, and at times illegal, infiltrating, and discrediting political organizations. The tactics of the COINTELPRO led to the murder and imprisonment of many Black Panther Party members. After his work with the Black Panther Party, Newton received a Ph.D. in social philosophy from the University of California at Santa Cruz (1980); his dissertation, “War Against the Panthers,” was subtitled “A Study of Repression in America.” Succumbing to factionalism and pressure from government agencies, the Black Panther Party disbanded in 1982. Sadly, in August of that year, he was murdered in Oakland.

Gwendolyn Brooks is one of the most highly regarded, influential, and widely read poets of 20th-century American poetry. She was a much-honored poet, even in her lifetime, with the distinction of being the first Black author to win the Pulitzer Prize. She also was poetry consultant to the Library of Congress—the first Black woman to hold that position—and poet laureate of the State of Illinois. Many of Brooks’s works display a political consciousness, especially those from the 1960s and later, with several of her poems reflecting the civil rights activism of that period. Not only has she combined a strong commitment to racial identity and equality with a mastery of poetic techniques, but she has also managed to bridge the gap between the academic poets of her generation in the 1940s and the young Black militant writers of the 1960s.

Jean-Michel Basquiat's productive career spanned just one short decade, yet he is considered one of the best-known artists of his generation and one of only a small number of Hispanic-African-American artists to have achieved international recognition.Graduating from subway walls to canvas and from the streets of New York to the galleries of SoHo, the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and his work will forever remain a mystery to those who seek explanation. Popular Jean Michel Basquiat works include graffiti influenced naive, expressionist paintings, often including text and images from popular culture. Many paintings were also painted on found objects, old boards, and furniture. As early as 1984, many of Basquiat's friends had become quite concerned about his excessive drug use, often finding him unkempt and in a state of paranoia. On August 12 , Basquiat died as the result of a he**in overdose. Jean-Michel Basquiat was 27.
