Robert De Witt "Bob" Fitch (1939–2016) was a well-known civil rights-era photographer. Offered here is his photograph of four unidentified young men. The two in the middle wear buttons from the Welfare Union run by Chicago's West Side Organization. The group was founded in 1964 and was most active in the 1960s. We don't know if the man on the right was friend or foe.
WITH--two 10 x 8-inch photograph portraits of unidentified young men wearing Black Panther buttons.
