She had a handbag in one hand… and his baton in the other.

This is one of the most unforgettable photographs from the 1967 Milwaukee uprising.

The woman is widely identified as Pamela Echols.

Very little is publicly known about her life. Yet one photograph preserved a moment that still speaks decades later.

By the summer of 1967, frustration in Milwaukee’s Black community had been building for years. Housing discrimination confined many Black families to overcrowded neighborhoods. Complaints of police brutality were common. Jobs and opportunities remained deeply unequal.

When unrest erupted, newspapers often reduced everything to one word: “riot.”

But that single word can hide years of injustice.

This photograph captures more than confrontation.

It captures a woman refusing to disappear.

With one hand she clutched her purse.

With the other, she grabbed the baton that symbolized authority over her life.

For a split second, power was no longer one-sided.

Whether people view this image with admiration, discomfort, or sorrow, it forces us to ask difficult questions about what happens when peaceful pleas go unanswered for generations.

Pamela Echols may not have left behind speeches or memoirs.

Adult Swim returned to the Annecy International Animation Film Festival with a broad slate of announcements and first looks this week. Highlights include the greenlight of Heist Brothers, a new series from Genndy Tartakovsky (Primal, Samurai Jack), new Robot Chickenspecials celebrating the network’s legacy, a forthcoming Cartoon Network documentary event marking its 35th anniversary, and updates across upcoming original programming.

“Annecy is always a great reminder of what happens when you give talented people the space to take big risks.” said Michael Ouweleen, President, Adult Swim. “That’s what we like to think we are doing at Adult Swim — whether it’s working with Genndy on the absolute bonkers Heist Brothers, to working with Joe Pera and Dan Licata on their first animated series, or showcasing the pure cinema which is the upcoming season Common Side Effects, we’re continuing our 25-year legacy of giving creators space to make something great and surprising. We love where we’ve come from, we love even more where we are going.” Adult Swim has greenlit Heist Brothers, a new high-octane animated action comedy from Emmy Award–winning creator Genndy Tartakovsky. The visionary behind groundbreaking series including Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars, Sym-Bionic Titan and Primal, Tartakovsky originally pitched Heist Brothers live onstage to Adult Swim President Michael Ouweleen during the network’s Studio Focus Panel in 2024. The presentation gave attendees a rare opportunity to witness firsthand the process of a creator unveiling a brand-new series concept in real time.

Announced as in development as Heist_Safari at last year’s Annecy, that pitch has now come to fruition, with Heist Brothers officially receiving a full-season order for Adult Swim. The series of 10 quarter-hour episodes is currently in production at Cartoon Network Studios. Adult Swim’s Emmy Award–winning stop‑motion comedy series Robot Chicken, from co‑creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, will return with two new specials — this time turning the spotlight on its own network.

The parody series will celebrate Adult Swim’s 25‑year milestone with Robot Chicken Adult Swim Special, Premiering Sunday, August 30ET/PT. Available to stream the next day on HBO Max, the special skewers the network’s legacy with the show’s signature rapid‑fire sketches, taking on some of Adult Swim’s most iconic series, characters and moments.

Harrison was born on a farm by the Ohio River and graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. After moving to Indianapolis, he established himself as a prominent local attorney, Presbyterian church leader, and politician. During the American Civil War, he served in the Union Army as a colonel, and was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as a brevet brigadier general of volunteers in 1865. Harrison unsuccessfully ran for governor of Indiana in 1876. In 1881, the Republican-controlled Indiana General Assembly elected Harrison to a six-year term in the Senate, where he served from 1881 to 1887.

A Republican, Harrison was elected to the presidency in 1888, defeating the Democratic incumbent Grover Cleveland in the Electoral College while losing the popular vote. Hallmarks of Harrison's administration were unprecedented economic legislation, including the McKinley Tariff, which imposed historic protective trade rates, and the Sherman Antitrust Act. Harrison also facilitated the creation of the national forest reserves through an amendment to the Land Revision Act of 1891. During his administration six western states were admitted to the Union. In addition, Harrison substantially strengthened and modernized the U.S. Navy and conducted an active foreign policy, but his proposals to secure federal education funding as well as voting rights enforcement for African Americans were unsuccessful.
