A family affair for the 10th episode! This one is extra special. It features Akash's dad reminiscing on his decades-old bond with Dr. Huey P Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. Huey choose Papa to head his Ph.D committee in the late 1970s at UC Santa Cruz. Plenty of stories come pouring out from there. But mostly this episode is a tribute to teachers and an attempt to explore the legacy of an American icon through a family connection.
