In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Bay Area emerged as a powerful center of grassroots resistance, where vital political coalitions united to confront racial inequality and social injustice. During this time, Kenneth Green Sr., a young photographer and Laney College student, was honing his craft while actively engaging with the movements unfolding around him.

This exhibition highlights three moments from the Kenneth P. Green Sr. Photography Archive: a Black Panther rally in Richmond following the police killing of Denzil Dowell; the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and Laney College’s March Against Repression; and the 19-month Occupation of Alcatraz asserting Indigenous land rights. Through his camera, Green documented these pivotal and interconnected events, plus many others, telling a story of self-determination and the ongoing fight for justice – when individuals across different communities mobilized, organized, and stood together.
