Rest in Power Richard Aoki


DAAAng I Just hear some bad news, Richard Aoki passed away This Sunday at age 71. I very sad to hear that. He was a true like a hero, a fighter for the community. A TRUE BLACK PANTHER MEMBER

For those who dont know who Richard Akoi was here some info:

Richard Aoki was one of the first members of the Black Panther Party and a field marshal of the revolutionary group. And Yes there was Asian folks in the Party.

"Aoki was born in San Leandro, CA. He and his family were interned during WWII, and afterwards, resettled in West Oakland. Aoki befriended Black Panther Party founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale at Merritt College in Oakland, where they all went to school. Richard was also a student leader in the Third World Student Strike at UC Berkeley in 1968 and a member of the Asian American Political Alliance."- HYpHEn


Even though Your gone You will never be forgotten. WE will continue the fight.
