Walking Through Portland with a Panther: The Life of Mr. Kent Ford
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Join the debut of Walking Through Portland with a Panther: The Life of Mr. Kent Ford. All Power! — the filmed premiere of a new solo play that celebrates the legacy of Mr. Kent Ford, co-founder of Portland’s chapter of the 1960s–era Black empowerment organization, the Black Panther Party. This newly commissioned solo play incorporates archival footage and storytelling to understand the legacy of local resistance, rediscover lost neighborhoods where the Panthers used to patrol and learn the intimate makings of unsung leaders of protest and revolution.
Walking Through Portland with a Panther is written by Don Wilson Glenn, directed by Damaris Webb, and features La’ Tevin Alexander, with film direction by Nora Collie. A discussion with Mr. Kent Ford and the film collaborators will take place after the screening.
