Seale recalls 1960s struggles: Black Panther icon at UW

Bobby Seale, co-founder and leader of the Black Panther Party and an icon of the 1960s, gave a live history lesson on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus Thursday night and promises to do more of the same at 7 p.m. tonight� in 165 Bascom Hall.

About 100 students and community members gathered at Chadbourne Hall to hear Seale tell stories of his legendary revolutionary past. Seale talked about the protests and violent clashes that led to the indictments of the Chicago 7 in 1968.
