In an unassuming house in Sacramento, one of the most comprehensive private collections of Black Panthers material sits on the shelves of original Party member and archivist William "Billy X" Jennings. During the summer of 2021, creative technologist Damien McDuffie worked with Billy to curate an exhibition of Black Panther newspapers brought to life with augmented reality. Featuring rare images of Tupac Shakur, Maya Angelou, and many other familiar faces, Into The Archives gives you a glimpse at the historical archive and one of the first efforts to bring the Black Panthers into the metaverse.
