Additional Details

Faintly visible in the background of this soft-focus image of Newton, hanging on the wall, is the famous poster of Newton seated with a rifle and spear. Oddly enough, that poster is usually assigned a 1967 or 1968 date, so it shouldn't appear in the background of an 1966 poster. The present image comes from a shoot the well-known photographer Ted Streshinsky did with Newton and Bobby Seale at the Black Panthers headquarters in July 1967. One copy in OCLC, and only one other traced at auction.
