Photograph of a march held by the Newark Community Union Project (NCUP) to protest police brutality after the killing of Lester Long by Newark policeman Henry Martinez. The shooting of Lester Long was one of the most well-known and contentious cases of alleged police brutality in Newark during the 1960s and reinvigorated community demands for a police review board. — Credit: Doug Eldridge Collection
