A photograph of part of Hong Kong taken in 1923 - note the recently built Cenotaph commemorating the dead of the Great War. This was in fact constructed in 1923, and is almost an exact replica of the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London which was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944).

I am interested in the occasion when Huey Newton,of the militant Black Panther Party, passed through Hong Kong on his visit to Mao`s china.Do any historians have accounts or can refer me to accounts of this?Is it true he stayed at the very un-Marxist Hong Kong Hilton?
