1970 Large photograph of white police officers forcing members of the Black Panther Party to strip for a weapons check in the middle of the street for an embarrassing and racist tactic. An early morning raid on the headquarters resulted in a Philadelphia gunfight that wounded three officers, prompting the event pictured here. A powerful work of photography that presents beautifully here with a stamp and full paper caption on the back from the United Press.
