Additional Details

Newton ran this congressional campaign from prison. This poster urges voters to "Defend the Black Community and the People's Human Rights" and concludes "All Power to All the People, Black Power to Black People." The photograph was taken by Kenneth Green of the Oakland Tribune at a 1967 rally in Richmond, CA, and was the first widely circulated official Panther image of Newton.
