Bobby Seale Biography

Bobby Seale, renowned as a co-founder of the Black Panther Party, has a vast and impactful career, epitomized by his active engagement in challenging social and political injustices. Seale's leadership in the Black Panther Party, coupled with his creation of the Ten Point platform, significantly contributed to the monitoring of police activities and combating police brutality in black communities. Notably, his run for Mayor of Oakland in 1973 was a testament to his commitment to effect change, securing 20% of the total vote. Seale's authorship of several books, including "A Lonely Rage: The Autobiography of Bobby Seale" and "Seize the Time: The Story of the Black Panther Party and Huey P. Newton," added a new dimension to his activism, providing an in-depth perspective of his journey and the broader Black Power movement.

Seale's influence extended beyond activism and politics, delving into realms such as filmmaking and education. His involvement in the production of a screenplay based on his autobiography, "Seize the Time: The Eighth Defendant," as well as his appearances in various documentaries and films such as "Public Enemy" and "Cold War," further underscores his multifaceted career. Seale's commitment to education is evident in his professorship of Black studies at Temple University and his engagement with youth through the Reach! education program. His influence and experiences have led to invitations to speak at over 500 colleges, providing first-hand insight into community organizing and activism.

Seale's story has not only been told by him but has also been depicted through various media outlets. His role in the notable "Trial of the Chicago 7" has been portrayed in several films, including the 2020 Netflix film by the same name. His association with the Black Panther Party has been explored in the 2021 film "Judas and the Black Messiah" and the film "The Big Cigar".
