Abstract
Popular and scholarly approaches emphasizing the radicality of Huey P. Newton and the Black Panther Party neglect the more traditional aspects of Newton's rhetorical vision. Specifically, I analyze Newton's 1970 address to the Revolutionary Peoples Constitutional Convention as a hallmark jeremiad. This analysis illustrates the conventional aspects of Newton's discourse as well as the amenability of the jeremiad to arguments for substantial social change.
