Jennings,
Black Panther Party historian, will curate an exhibition of radical underground
newspapers from the 1960s and 1970s. The publications created an ethos around
the struggle for equality, civic engagement and justice. Often authored,
designed, and published by university students, these publications offer
insight into the underground press and its vast diversity of visual languages
that were both accessible and powerful while inspiring people to action.
A reception
for the public to meet the artists will take
place on September 16, from 4-5:30 pm on
the 2nd floor of Love Library.
