"Black Panther leader Ericka Huggins"

In New Haven, Connecticut, two Black Panther Party leaders, Bobby Seale and Ericka Huggins were charged with murder, kidnapping and conspiracy in connection with the 1969 murder of fellow Panther Alex Rackley. In 1971, the jury was deadlocked and charges were dismissed. This material features silent footage of Ericka Huggins surrounded by a large crowd of African Americans near the courthouse in New Haven. Also includes shots of the New Haven Courthouse exterior, wide shots to show the size of the crowd, and close-ups of Huggins's face.

Note:  The KTLA newsfilm collection at UCLA consists of cut and unedited stories, outtakes and fill footage, originally shot on 16mm reversal film stock with magnetic soundtrack. Some footage, particularly material not used for broadcast, may be without sound.
