Which civil rights activist and organization founder cited "Negroes with Guns" as a major inspiration?

Huey Newton
Malcolm X
Martin Luther King Jr.
Rosa Parks

Answer

Huey Newton, the founder of the Black Panther Party, cited Robert F. Williams' book "Negroes with Guns" as a major inspiration. The book's focus on armed self-defense and challenging the non-violent approach of the Civil Rights Movement resonated with Newton and influenced the formation of the Black Panther Party.
