Photograph shows a demonstration in support of Black Panther's leader Huey Newton in front of the Alameda County Courthouse. At the top of the stairs are several Black Panther members either making the Panther sign or holding flags that say "Free Huey." At the bottom of the stairs is a line of African-American women, some clapping and some holding protest signs that say "If anything happens to Huey the sky is the limit," and "Huey Newton must be set free or the sky is the limit, FREE HUEY." One woman is standing with her back to the photographer and appears to be leading the women in their protest.
