The San Francisco Arts Commission (http://www.sfartscommission.org/) has set up a series of posters by artist Deborah Aschheim. "The Zeitgeist" is part of a larger series for the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love. The posters in The Zeitgeist represent people involved in the Spring Mobilization against the War in Vietnam on 15-April-1967.
Huey P Newton, one of the founders of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, was pulled over by an Oakland Police officer on 28-October-1967. A gun fight broke out. Newton was wounded and the policeman died. Newton went to prison.
