Additional Details

In late 1966, Stokely Carmichael and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee had been organizing with the Lowndes County Freedom Organization in Alabama, which had developed the iconic Black Panther logo to help with their voter registration drive. This version of the logo appeared on the cover of SNCC's August 1966 publication, "The Black Power Issue: Notes and Comment," months before Huey Newton and Bobby Seale founded the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense in Oakland.
