Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seal Were Critical of the Mainstream Civil Rights Movement

Huey P. Newton met Bobby Seal at a protest against the blockade of Cuba and they were both members of the Afro-American Association together. The leader of that group, Donald Warden, was a confusing man who really liked Castro but was also a major believer in the power of black capitalism to fix societal injustice. Huey grew frustrated when over the course of months it became clear that this talk was basically all that he felt Donald was good for. He didn't think would do a very good job of liberating black people from the whole that he felt capitalism had dug for them.
