Huey Remixed 1972: JET Magazine

On May 11, 1972 in Los Angeles, CA (USA), a photograph of Huey P. Newton in a leather chair made by Paul Robinson, was published on the cover of Jet.

“Jet is an American weekly magazine that focuses on news, culture, and entertainment related to the African-American community. Founded in November 1951 by John H. Johnson of the Johnson Publishing Company in Chicago, Illinois.[2][3] The magazine was initially billed as “The Weekly Negro News Magazine”. Jet chronicled the civil rights movement from its earliest years, including the murder of Emmett Till, the Montgomery bus boycott, and the activities of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_(magazine))

The photo Huey P. Newton was taken in the “den of his 25th-floor Oakland apartment” (Jet, p21)
