Photograph poster
22 x 17 inches, printed in black, white,
and red. Philadelphia, 1970’s
[400/600]
In the cultural wars of the 1970’s the Black
Panthers had no fiercer enemy than Philadelphia
mayor Frank Rizzo. In the summer of 1970,
Rizzo declared war on the Panthers, pulling
out all the stops and violating their human
rights in ways not known in the history of
police behavior in Philadelphia. In one of many
operations in 1970, Rizzo staged a nighttime
raid on Panther headquarters, dragging the near
naked Panthers out to the street, stripping them
and beating them.
