Roots of Resistance

Public Opening Reception
Roots of Resistance is a student-powered archives project about the Black Panther Party’s free food program for social change. Students from nearby Lincoln University, the first degree granting historically black college, shared a collection of photographs and articles from the Black Panther Party newsletters – archived at Lincoln – centering work on food justice. Students contributed family recipes and traditions as well, contextualizing and amplifying their research by weaving in their own personal histories.

A word about 'here':
We acknowledge that we are on the ancestral lands of the Lenape, original people of the mid-Atlantic area, forced west by British and US governments. Most Delaware Indian tribe descendants are now located in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. Lenni Lenapes in Pennsylvania are not officially recognized as tribes by the United States, though an estimated 5000 Lenape Nation descendants live in the Delaware River area. We pay respects to the Lenape people both past and present. Please consider the many legacies of violence, displacement and settlement that form part of our collective histories. While increased public recognition of these legacies and processes of redress such as Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission are positive steps, concrete focus on return of land and land rights remains a distant horizon.
