The exhibit further examines the party\u2019s links to other political organizations in the city within the broader context of political organizing in the period. The exhibit features rare artifacts, documents, and photographs, as well as copies of the party\u2019s newspaper.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibit examines the persistent racial segregation and bigotry that shaped the city and animated Black political organizing. Visitors will learn about the power of grassroots organizing against racism, as well as how regular people made demands for revolution in Baltimore. The Baltimore chapter\u2019s history also illustrates how police mobilized copious resources to undermine and destroy the Black Panther Party.<strong><em>\u201cRevolution in Our Lifetime\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<\/strong>also addresses legacies and provides contemporary lessons from this era of political ferment in Baltimore.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors can expect four main sections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cThe Seeds of the Revolution: Children and Childhood in the Baltimore Chapter of the Black Panther Party\u201d by Kai Clemons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cBreaking Down the Ivory Tower: Dr. Rev.
