Bobby Seale, speaking at the Free Huey Rally, DeFremery Park, Oakland, CA 1968, protected by Panthers from LA. - Pirkle Jones“The issues the Panthers organized around fifty years ago are still with us. Our justice system is unjust. Police conduct in nonwhite neighborhoods generates systematic abuses. The middle class is shrinking. Our education system not only continues to fail poor children, it often propels them to prison. In addition to these continuing issues, there are new wrinkles. The spectacular rise in economic inequality - “99 percent of all new income today goes to the wealthiest 1 percent” - has caused the barons at Davos, Switzerland, to note that the immense political power the 1 percent wield because of their control of resources is skewing society and creating instability. Scientists warn us our planet is in jeopardy due to global warming. The future is uncertain.”― Bobby Seale, Power to the People: The World of the Black Panthers (2016) -- source link
