Paragraph for Module 6.3.3
Huey P. Newton was a co-founder and leader of the Black Panther Party (BPP). The party was founded in Oakland California in October 1966 at a time of rising racial tension in the USA.[1] There had been race riots in Harlem in 1964 and Watts in 1965. [2]
Newton was heavily influenced by the black leader Malcolm X and by other revolutionary movements of the period.[3] The party issued a 10-point plan and advocated for black people to carry weapons and confront police(ref required).
Newton was jailed in September 1968 for the manslaughter of a police officer, John Frey. (ref required) Following a campaign by supporters Newton was released in August 1970. Following his release, he wrote Revolutionary Suicide. The book covered his life from his early days in Oakland up to his trip to China in 1971.
Paragraph: This helps you set the style of the text. For example, a header, or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.
A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The "More" options allows you to underline, add code snippets, and change language keyboards.
Links: The chain button allows you to link your text. Highlight the word, and push the button. The visual editor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an "external links" section, for example) click on the "External link" tab.
Cite: The citation tool in the visual editor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the visual editor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Finally, you can click the "re-use" tab if you've already added a source and just want to cite it again.
- Bullets: To add bullet points or a numbered list, click here.
- Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.
- Ω The final tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions.
