Black Panther Party outside of the Capitol building in Olympia protesting a gun-control bill - February 28, 1969

Print available on my Redbubble store:

On February 28, 1969, eight members of the Black Panther"s Seattle chapter, carrying rifles and shotguns, protested on the steps of the state capitol against House Bill No. 123, passed the day before, which made it a misdemeanor to exhibit fi****ms with ‘an intent to intimidate others.’

The group unloaded their weapons when asked, and chapter captain Aaron Dixon (second from the right in the above photo), one of the founders of the Seattle chapter of the BPP, read a statement to the legislature, then the Panthers left the capitol grounds. That same day, a second, separate delegation of black activists from Seattle"s Central Area met with the Senate Ways and Means Committee, asking that the legislators make changes in order to help the poor and oppressed:

"Sen. Frank Atwood of Bellingham said the Black Panthers in the group "engaged in a pitch that was inflammatory and served no useful purpose. But the others made some good points," he said. "They are dead right about discrimination in labor unions."

Two senators indicated they plan legislative action to deal with labor union discrimination, which the group attacked along with inequalities in education and employment.
..

"Government hasn"t responded as fast to these problems as it should have," Durkan said, "and hopefully this session of legislature will see some positive action."

Durkan, Woodall and others said they were particularly impressed by the blacks" argument for the need for day-care centers so mothers now on welfare can work.

"Welfare is killing the black people," said Atwood. "They are willing to work and want jobs. This is our problem, not theirs."

Senator Fred Dore, D-Seattle, in whose district the members of the delegation live, said “the encounter gave some legislators from outside the metropolitan area their first chance of personal acquaintance with the problems they had only read about before."

"It wakes me up," said Mardesich. "The way they do it is wrong, but still tends to wake you up."

Despite the protest, Governor Evans approved and signed the gun-control legislation that same day, February 28, 1969. With the new law on the books, before 1969 was out the Panthers" phase of carrying weapons openly would come to an end.

For more information about the events that led up to the moment of this photograph, please read this article by Linda Holden Givens:

The Washington State Archives have compiled News articles, letters sent to the government office in response to the BPP protest, and more photos from that day in this Facebook post:

The University of Washington have put together the “Seattle Black Panther Party History and Memory Project” which has video interviews with Aaron Dixon, Elmer Dixon, and other party members of the SBPP.

Navajo boy, photographed by Carl E. Moon in the year 1906

📸 20/20
This photo is the last in a series of twenty photos that I"ve given color, portraying Indigenous and First Nations people who lived a century ago in America. This journey does not have to end - support me on patreon.com/SannaDullaway ❤️

This man was definitely photographed by Carl E. Moon, there is however conflicting information about the identity of the man in the photo:

▸According to the Huntington Library, the man is Diné (Navajo), and the word "Bi-yazh"" is transcribed from the print.
▸According to the Getty Museum, the model may actually be Esikio Tobar (1893-1950) of the Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas, wearing a Diné (Navajo) dress.
▸According to the Huntington Library, Carl Moon"s title read "Navajo Boy. Che-bah-nah." NMAI"s original image description read "Sohachee - Navajo Boy."

It is unfortunate we do not know what his name is for certain, or if he is Navajo or Apache, but I feel regardless of who this man might have been, he was very real and by giving his photo color I hope I could bring him closer to us.

The photographer Carl E. Moon was born in Wilmington, Ohio in 1878. He moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1903, where he set up a photography studio and began making "art studies" of the Native Americans of the Southwest, both in photographs and in oil paintings, sometimes living for weeks at a time in Navajo villages.

From 1905-1906, Moon had a short-lived partnership in Albuquerque with businessman Thomas F. Keleher, called the Moon-Keleher Studio. After the partnership dissolved, Moon continued working, photographing carefully selected Indian "subjects" in a romantic, posed style. His photographs began appearing in magazines and he exhibited at the Museum of Natural History in New York. President Theodore Roosevelt invited Moon to exhibit his Native American photographs at the White House. I will share few more of his photos in the comments below.

With this being the final photo in my journey, it does not mean it won’t happen again. Check my follow-up post on how you can best support me in creating a daily project like this one, and also where you can comment on what you"d like to see next from me! 😊 ▸
