content: A digital print depicting a black-and-white image of a busy kitchen during the New York Young Lords’ breakfast program. A Young Lord is standing behind the seated children on the left. At the center is a long table set with a plastic tablecloth, plastic utensils, and toppings for foods. There are nine children in view seated around the table. The Young Lord watching over wears a light-colored shirt under a dark-colored jacket with dark pants and a belt. The jacket has two buttons one his upper left chest, one with Huey P. Newton’s face and the other with text reading [FREE / HUEY].
label: Description
content: The room has three large windows. Behind the seated children, to the far left is the partial view of the cupboards and countertop. To the right is a refrigerator. On the right side wall, between two windows, are three posters placed vertically. The top poster depicts an image of presumably a Black Panther member within a star with text below the star reading [We want FREEDOM We want / Power to determine the / Destiny of OUR BLACK Community]. The second poster below is white with black text reading [FREE HUEY / FREE BOBBY] followed by an image of Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in front of a sign reading [BLACK PANTHER / PARTY] and the emblem of a black panther at the bottom. The third poster is largely obstructed but visibly text suggests it’s a bilingual text, reading [all power belongs to the… / todo el poder al…].
