Additional Details

A rifle-toting newsboy hawks copies of the Black Panther newspaper. The image originally appeared with different coloring in the 9 March 1969 issue of the Black Panther: Black Community News Service. It was not purely metaphor: the very next issue had an article recruiting boys to hawk the newspaper on the streets. See Vincent DiGirolamo, "Crying the News: A History of America's Newsboys," page 561; Art of Emory Douglas, pages 8-9 (illustration of the newspaper version). .
