Seeing It Through: A Visual Manifestation of the Black Panther Party’s Legacy in Portland
January 11, 2020 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
FreeThis exhibition is open during Central Library’s hours of operation.
Black history is far more than the Civil Rights era.
In response to the racism that marginalized and harmed Black Portlanders, the Portland Black Panther Party formed its Portland Chapter in 1969. Their goal was to build equity for the oppressed in our city.
This exhibition features artwork by Elijah Hasan and the HeArt Gallery that responds to the legacy of the Black Panthers’ Ten-Point Program.
Opening reception on Saturday, January 11, 3-5 pm. Explore the legacy of the Portland Black Panther Party through art, music and storytelling featuring Kent Ford. Light refreshments will be served.
