This poster by an unknown designer showing the partial figure of a man with a gun in blood red incorporates the slogan “seize the time” associated with Huey P. Newton, one of the leaders of the Black Panther Party (BPP); it became a rallying cry for the BPP and its call for armed resistance to the political and social oppression of Black people in the United States. Seize the Time: The Story of the Black Panther Party and Huey P. Newton was also the title of a 1970 book by BPP cofounder Bobby Seale, as told to a journalist during his imprisonment in the San Francisco County Jail, and the name of a 1969 album by Elaine Brown described in the BPP newspaper as recording “the first songs of the American revolution.” The quote from Huey P. Newton “an unarmed people are slaves…” is from an article titled “In Defense of Self Defense” that he published in the Black Panther Newsletter of June 20, 1967.
