Huey Newton Visits China

Black Panther party leader Huey Newton returned late to San Francisco from a visit to China where he said he petitioned Chairman Mao Tse-tung to be chief negotiator to President Nixon, "For the peace and freedom of the oppressed people of the world." Newton (L), said that he did not actually meet with Mao Tse-tung, but presented his petition to Chinese Premier Chou En-lai. (Photo by Bettmann Archive/Getty Images)
