 Market St. (6th).\n\nAll proceeds from the show will go to the Bobby Hutton 
 Memorial.\n\nThe city of Oakland, has approved the placement of a Bobby 
 Hutton's memorial in West Oakland’s DeFremery Park. Bobby Hutton was the 
 3rd member of the Black Panther Party, and he was struck down three days 
 after the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and 2 weeks 
 before his 18th birthday (shot 12 times by the Oakland Police Department 
 while surrendering, shirtless, after a standoff). Young Bobby Hutton’s 
 life represents the perpetual awakening of Black youth to their unique 
 history, and the eternal process of mentorship and guidance towards 
 political and historical consciousness and a higher calling.\n\nThe Black 
 Panthers at their height had over 5,000 members and over 40 chapters, so 
 the process that Bobby Hutton went thorugh was replicated exponentially 
 across the United States. Equally important in Bobby's story, is that by 
 stepping forward, 16 year old Bobby Hutton, also avoided the pitfalls of 
 urban neglect, poverty, violence and drugs that far too many black youth 
 are mired in today. It is both ironic and tragic, that his life was cut 
 short by the same senseless violence Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale set out 
 to eliminate when they formed The Black Panthers. In this regard, Bobby 
 Hutton is a perfect example of the quintessential Black Panther.\n\nThere 
 has been a small group of committed family members and friends that have 
 sustained and championed this project for many years, including Bobby 
 Hutton’s sister.\n\nEvent Co-Sponsors: itsabouttimebpp.com, Juxtapoz 
 (arts magazine), Oakland’s The Commemorator Newspaper (Melvin Dickson), 
 The Luggage Store Gallery, Club Six, Rigo 23 and Emory Douglas.\n\nTo
