Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A black-and-white photograph depicting a residential street being patrolled by multiple policemen in dark-colored uniforms with white helmets. There is a car parked in the center of the street with its driver-side door open, and the logo on the driver's side door says "Newark Police." Two policemen stand to the car's right looking across the street with their guns raised. At the far left of the photograph, one policeman appears to be giving attention to a person lying on the ground, while two other policemen stand nearby with guns raised. The street sign indicates that the street is Livingston Street, but the name of the cross street is blurry.
