Forty years ago, I traveled to Algiers to attend an earlier edition of this festival and to explore the city with my camera:
The Black Panther Party exhibited in a storefront Afro-American Center.

These shots are SO fantastic to see. Wow, what a moment in time you captured so well. I loved seeing your street shots and reading about Archie Shepp, seeing your shots with Eldrige Cleaver. Thank you for posting them to your blog. An absolute treat to see your work from then.
I see you went on the QA WWPhotoWalk. I was at the one at the Sculpture Park. We've got to get together for coffee and a photo walk one day soon.
