Roots Project

The Temescal Roots Project will honor the rich history of the Black Panther Party's beginnings in/around Temescal through a public art installation in the heart of the district. This will be the first 3D public art piece to honor the legacy not of a single member, but rather the entire Black Panther Party as a whole.
