Description and history

Part of the mural, 2023

The mural stood on the east side of what was then the BPP chapter headquarters in Seattle, the second building to serve that purpose (which it served from 1969 to either 1971[1] or 1972[2]). The building was torn down very shortly thereafter, but as of 2023 the retaining wall and mural remain. The mural was retouched in 2008 by Seattle artist Eddie Walker.[2]

The wall is dedicated to nine fallen Panthers: Sydney Miller, Welton Butch Armstead, Albert Postel, Larry War, Lewis Jackson, Maud Allen, Carolyn Downs, Jim Graves and Henry Boyer.[3]

Eddie Walker, who retouched the wall in 2008, was a key figure in founding the Ethnic Cultural Center at the University of Washington, Seattle,[4] and painted the portraits of Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth that hang in Seattle's Douglass-Truth Library.[5]
