This iconic photograph features community members and Young Lords marching from the Bronx to East Harlem, and eventually on to Queens, marching in solidarity with the Black Panthers for the freedom of Bobby Seale, the freedom of the Panther 21, and the broader liberation struggles of the Puerto Rican people on the island, and in the diaspora.
