Negroes with Guns is a 1962 book by civil rights activist Robert F. Williams.^[1]^[2] Timothy B. Tyson said, Negroes with Guns was "the single most important intellectual influence on Huey P. Newton, the founder of the Black Panther Party".^[3] The book is used in college courses^[4]^[5] and is discussed in debates.^[6]^[7]

Negroes with Guns was Williams' experience throughout the Civil Rights Movement of Monroe, North Carolina. Because black rights were constantly violated, the self-defense policy was born, with Williams saying there was a need to "meet violence with violence."^[8] However, Williams claimed that black militants were not promoting violence, but were combating it, believing in self-defense and not aggression.^[9]

In film

The subject matter of the book was made into the documentary film Negroes with Guns: Rob Williams and Black Power, directed by Sandra Dickson and Churchill Roberts, released in 2004.^[10]^[11] The film provides witness testimonies of many of the events described in the book.

A documentary by Sandra Dickson and Churchill Roberts, Rob Williams and Black Power, attempts to gather Williams from margins of movement scholarship.^[12]
