Photograph shows the limos parked at the curb during the funeral ceremony for George Jackson, a Soledad Brother who was killed trying to escape from San Quentin. Two photographers are standing at the bumper of the first limo. A man wearing sunglasses and a beret is walking beside the second limo behind an older woman wearing gloves and carrying a purse and sweater. There is a large interracial crowd, including some children, gathered around the limos. Some people in the crowd are making the black power symbol.
