The poster was produced by the Black Panther Party and the "Huey P. Newton Defense Fund", and the photo was taken by Pirkle Jones. Of course Huey Newton was a revolutionary black African-American political activist who, along with Bobby Seale, co-founded the Black Panther Party in 1966. In 1967, Newton was involved in a shootout which led to the death of a police officer. He was convicted in 1968 but that decision was eventually reversed and after two subsequent trials ended in hung juries, the district attorney said he would not pursue a fourth trial. In 1974 he was accused of murdering a woman, but was not convicted for that, and later he achieved a Ph.D in social philosophy from UCSC, but he was murdered in 1989 by a member of the Black Guerilla Party.
