I was gonna draw patterns in her hair, but I was soooo behind already and just decided to add a bit of colour to other parts of her.

There's a handsome man on YouTube with my dream afro and he inspired this drawing.
When my hair is long enough, I'm going to try doing the finger curls he does 💇♀️

On September 15th, 1970 the New Orleans chapter of the Black Panther Party held their ground in the Desire Housing Projects against law enforcement in a shootout that lasted over 30 minutes. At 8:00 am over 100 officers in military gear stormed down on the Panther’s headquarters located at 3544 Piety St. and unloaded gunfire in an attempt to eradicate the Black Panther Party from the State of Louisiana. Miraculously no one was killed in this standoff.
Law enforcement made another attempt to raid the headquarters on November 19, but thousands of Desire residents circled the building in a successful effort to protect the members and fend off another violent attack.
In August of 1971 all of the members were found not guilty.
