Black Panthers: Making Sense of History
Exhibit: Thurs. 6 a.m.-10 p.m.
Panel Discussion: Thurs. 7-8:30 p.m., Henry Art Gallery, Auditorium

Back-dropped by the spectacular photography of Stephen Shames, panelists such as Aaron Dixon, co-founder and captain of the Black Panther Party’s Seattle Chapter, Larry Gossett, King County Council member, and Shelia Edwards Lange, UW vice president for minority affairs and diversity, discuss the impact of the Black Panthers during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Tickets are free and seats are available on a first come, first served basis.

During the height of the Civil Rights movement, from 1967-73, Shames had unprecedented access to the Black Panther Party and captured not only its public face but also unscripted behind-the-scenes moments. Shames’s work offers an uncommonly nuanced portrait of this dynamic social movement, during one of the most tumultuous periods in U.S. history. An exhibit is on view at Odegaard Library to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the student takeover of the administration building at the University of Washington.
