About
Bobby Seale was born in Liberty, Texas. He is an American political activist. He is known for co-founding the Black Panther Party with Huey Newton. While in college, Bobby Seale joined the Afro-American Association, a group on campus devoted to advocating black separatism. Through this AAA group, Seale met Huey Newton.

Newton, heavily inspired by Malcolm X, the civil rights leader assassinated in 1965, and his teachings, joined together in October 1966 to create the Black Panthers, later known as the Black Panther Party for self-defense who adopted the slain activist's slogan “Freedom by any means necessary” as their own.
