Bobby Seale speaks at rally in Boston (7/22/1968)

Bobby Seale of the Black Panthers speaking at the rally on Boston Common (7/22/1968) for the Peace and Freedom Party, who had nominated the Black Panthers, Eldridge Cleaver for President of the United States. Seale discusses a variety of topics including the emergence of the Panthers; the Oakland (CA) Police Department who Seale maintains is intentionally targeting the Panthers; the need for ballot signatures for Eldridge Cleaver.

I saw Huey P. Newton when he spoke at Temple University's Mcgonicle Hall in Philly in 1970. When I was working with the BPP on Columbia Ave. my father told me, you need to check out the Muslims because what the Panthers are saying is what the Muslims have been saying. My grandmother told me, you can't beat this system with a gun because they will come with a bigger one, I told her she was speaking the truth but it comes a time when you have to stand up to the oppressors and let them know you are willing to die for your freedom. I was totally surprised when my father told me he met Bobby Seale at a restaurant where he had coffee every Saturday morning on Chelton Ave. Bobby Seale had a barbeque shop down the street and would sit with dad a few times. I was so happy to hear that. During that time we as a people were moving in the right direction, we respected one another and worked together. The enemy saw our unity growing and had to do something, so they started spreading guns and drugs into our communities and destroyed what was becoming a new inspiring generation.

20 years ago I was researching Bobby Seal and his role in the Blank Panther Party, there was a number listed for booking speaking engagements; I called and Bobby himself answered which impressed and surprised me. Our conversation lasted 6 hrs Mr. Seal explained the Party’s motives, their deeds and inception. Mr. Seal was very articulate, well read and extremely informative about black history in America, revolution, constitutional law and was very warm and polite. One of the things he educated me about was he along with the founders of the party were students and intellectuals first. I could have listened for a week at this brothers knowledge! Not sure if Bobby is still with us but if he is. I hope he’s well, healthy and proud of the heroic and sacrificial life he along with other party members life effected/affected change in many lives including mine! The spirit of the party still lives in many of us.

He wanted immediate armed revolution instead of "Survival Pending Revolution" programs. Fled the U.S. and supposedly became very religious and had slipped into reactionary politics. I don't know how true those last allegations are however.
