Marlon Brando speaks at Funeral of Black panther Bobby Hutton

Lil Bobby Hutton's funeral was held on April 12 1968 at the Ephesians Church of God in Berkeley, California. About 1,500 people attended the funeral and a rally held afterwards in West Oakland was attended by over 2,000 people, including actor Marlon Brando and author James Baldwin. He was buried at Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, but did not have a gravestone until 2003, 35 years after his death. Bobby Hutton's death at the hands of the Oakland police was seen by those sympathetic to the Black Panther Party as an example of police brutality against blacks. At the time. Hutton was the first Panther to die and "immediately became a martyr for the cause of black power."
