Haven't shared anything from @nikrichard in a while - "On September 15th, 1970 the New Orleans chapter of the Black Panther Party held their ground in the Desire Housing Projects against law enforcement in a shootout that lasted over 30 minutes. At 8:00 am over 100 officers in military gear stormed down on the Panther’s headquarters located at 3544 Piety St. and unloaded gunfire in an attempt to eradicate the Black Panther Party from the State of Louisiana. Miraculously no one was killed in this standoff. Law enforcement made another attempt to raid the headquarters on November 19, but thousands of Desire residents circled the building in a successful effort to protect the members and fend off another violent attack. In August of 1971 all of the members were found not guilty. This illustration is my depiction of the events of that day based on archival Times Picayune photographs. The final installation will be up in the 9th Ward this week as a part of the @paper.monuments Re:Present series. Location and posters coming soon. ___________________________________________________ #illustration #blackpanther #blackpantherparty #desireprojects #neworleanshistory #papermonuments #malikrahim #hueypnewton #showdownindesire #standoffinthedesire - #FriendsOfQ #Followyournola #artQollection https://www.instagram.com/p/B18932XHfpA/?igshid=1aw2a61qn2evq
