In a rare and enlightening conversation on Hard Knock Radio, host Davey D sat down with the late Gus Newport, a revered human rights activist and former mayor of Berkeley. While Newport is widely recognized for his contributions to politics and social justice, fewer know of his deeply personal connection to Malcolm X—an alliance forged in the heart of the Black liberation struggle. In this powerful exchange, Newport offers firsthand insights into Malcolm’s formative years, his political evolution, and the relentless forces that sought to silence him.
