Additional Details

Following an incident in October 1967, in which a police officer was killed, Huey Newton was arrested and indicted on murder charges. In December a coalition between the Black Panthers and the white Peace and Freedom Party was formed. And in February 1968, a huge "Free Huey" rally was organized in Oakland.
