EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a momentous event in American history. On June 19,1970, crowds gathered on the steps of the iconic Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D. C. for a Black Panther convention. The image showcases party members holding a banner that boldly calls for a Revolutionary Peoples Constitutional Convention. The atmosphere is charged with energy as people from all walks of life come together to demand change and fight for their rights. African Americans and Caucasian men and women stand side by side, united in their pursuit of justice. A diverse group of individuals can be seen on the steps, representing the strength and determination of this movement. The presence of Abraham Lincoln's statue towering over them adds an additional layer of significance to this gathering. It serves as a reminder that despite progress made since his time, there is still work to be done towards achieving true equality. Warren K. Leffler or Thomas J. O Halloran skillfully captured this historic moment through their lens, immortalizing it forever. This photograph not only documents political acts but also symbolizes hope and resilience during an era marked by social unrest. Displayed by The Granger Collection in New York, this print serves as a testament to the power of collective action and reminds us that our voices have the ability to shape history.
