Above a series of newspaper photographs of a spectacular racecar crash, the barely legible image of Huey P. Newton, the cofounder of the Black Panther Party, has been reproduced from a poster used in the campaign advocating his release from prison. At bottom center, a tense tabloid headline reads “Panther Brawl Rocks Court.”
