The reissue adds a D.L. Hughley introduction and new e-book and audio editions as Seale prepares a memoir on the Panthers' internal fractures.
- Black Panther co-founder Bobby Seale, approaching his 90th birthday, announced on Tuesday he is reissuing his 1970 jailhouse memoir 'Seize the Time' and releasing a new book in the coming years.

- 'Seize the Time,' which had fallen out of print in recent years, will include an introduction by actor-comedian D.L. Hughley and will be available for the first time in e-book and audio editions.
- Since leaving the organization, Seale has taught Black studies at Temple University and collaborated with photographer Stephen Shames on 'Power to the People: The World of the Black Panthers,' published in 2016.
