ABOUT THE ART

"I’ve been inspired by the Black Panther Party and their activism since I read Bobby Seale’s book “Seize The Time” almost 30 years ago. I’m happy to announce the release of this Bobby Seale print I designed in collaboration with the @ap2tpcollective, in conjunction with the Black Panther Party History Month and their 55th Anniversary celebrations.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
100% of the profits from sales will benefit the continuing legacy of the Black Panther Party Alumni Legacy Network (BPPALN.org). ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The events this month honor the backbone leadership of the original Party. The work of BPPALN is to ensure the education initiatives and community outreach programs provide knowledge, while improving the quality of life for the Elders, all the way to the youth of today.⁠⁠"
