The Black Liberation Army embodied the most radical response to the after times.

Evidence

In April 1970, a friend asked Ben to drive with him to Florida. He said it was to visit family. It turned out to be a trip to pick up guns for an Ohio unit of the Black Liberation Army, an underground Black Nationalist/Marxist organization made up of former members of the Black Panther Party. The BLA was, perhaps, the most radical response to the after times. Its members decided to wage war against the United States. — Eddie S. Glaude Jr., Begin Again, 478
