Bobby Seale and the Black Panther Party

In 1962, Huey P. Newton met a guy named Bobby Seale at a protest opposing the US blockade of Cuba. Now, Bobby had been born in 1936, about five years before Huey. And while Huey was the youngest of seven, Bobby was the oldest child of three. He'd grown up in Oakland where both his mother and father worked. So Bobby grew up kind of accepting that random violence from authority was a regular fact of life.
