On the Cover of a Magazine

At the end of 2005, the 40 greatest magazine covers of the previous 40 years were unveiled at the 2005 American Magazine Conference (AMC).

Go to their website to check them out. This cover was number 35 on their list:

#35 New York (June 8, 1970) This cover of New York is entitled “Free Leonard Bernstein,” with a photograph of New York society women posing with fists upraised. Bernstein was an acclaimed American composer and orchestra conductor who was a presence on Broadway, in Hollywood, at Carnegie Hall and at the New York Philharmonic. He supported the Black Panthers and in 1970, held a fund-raising meeting for the organization at his apartment. The magazine cover was a jab at his association with the Black Panthers and their radical ideology.
