Black Panthers from Sacramento, Free Huey Rally, Bobby Hutton Memorial Park, Oakland, CA, No. 62 August 25, 1968. Pirkle Jones—Collection of the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture, Gift of the Pirkle Jones Foundation, © 2011 Pirkle Jones Foundation (LIFE).

From the upcoming Smithsonian photo book African American Women. “We made a point of choosing images of people who aren’t famous,” says Michèle Gates Moresi, the [National Museum of African American History and Culture]’s supervisory curator of collections. “They aren’t known as leaders, but they were to their communities.”
