“THE ASSASSINATION OF FRED HAMPTON” BOOKSIGNING
Learn about how the FBI and the Chicago Police murdered a Black Panther at this reading and booksigning. Attorney Jeff Haas documented the thirteen-year legal saga in which he and People’s Law Office partner Flint Taylor pursued Hampton’s assassins, ultimately prevailing over FBI stonewalling and unlimited government resources bent on hiding the conspiracy that led to Hampton’s death. The book not only tells the story of justice delivered but also puts Hampton in a new light as a dynamic community leader whose dedication to his people and to truth telling inspired the young lawyers of the People’s Law Office, solidifying their lifelong commitment to fighting injustice. Jeffrey Haas co-founded the People’s Law Office in 1969 in Chicago, IL and was the attorney for the plaintiffs in the federal suit Hampton v. Hanrahan.

LA ARTCORE PRESENTS WORKS BY GRAHAM GODDARD AND LUIS BECERRA
This tandem-solo show features paintings and sculptures by Los Angeles artists Graham Goddard and Luis Becerra. Trinidadian-American Goddard is a conceptual artist known for making visual statements about the environment, spirituality and commoditization through painting, sculpture and site-specific land art installations. In 2003 Graham Goddard developed the rotating canvas, which allows the viewer to turn the painting 360 degrees, exposing inverted images within his work while exploring the nature of viewer interaction. Today, as viewers insert themselves into the evolution of the imagery featured in the Rotating Canvas, the process viewing and interacting with the work can be seen as demonstrative of the continually transforming relationships between content and context in contemporary art. Graham Goddard studied Fine Arts at the University of Southern California (BFA) and has been exhibited at the Skirball Museum, the California African-American Museum and numerous art galleries in the United States and abroad.
Celebrated Los Angeles artist and muralist, Luis Becerra (b.1942) has produced dialectically progressive paintings, sculptures and murals following in the traditions of Diego Rivera, Jose Clement and David Alfaro Siqueiros for over three decades. Becerra’s portrait-sculptures made of found scrap metal touch viewers with their seamlessly unified, yet potent formal language whose dynamic shapes and materials come into direct contact with human nature and circumstance, symbolizing both the external events of history upon the resolve of the human soul. Becerra’s mature formal language reflects the unconquerable human soul, its barriers and emotional struggles. Likewise, the artist’s work reminds viewers of the political struggles both past and present.
