Here's a shot of Black Panther Party co-founder Bobby Seale in jail in

San Francisco in 1970 awaiting extradition to New Haven, Connecticut,

to stand trial in a highly-controversial and widely-denounced murder

case. Seale's trial ended in a hung jury, and the government chose not

to retry. Comments and Critiques are always welcomed, Thanks...Bill

Wow!.....the places you've been! This is an excellent portrait, and the stark background and lighting draw us to his amazing facial expression. There are many stories one could make up about what is going through his mind at this particular juncture. Very good work!

Bill, I am running out of words.  This is an exceptionally fine portrait in an important moment of history.  The thing that he looks so relaxed and detached as he eats his lunch.
