More questions\, please contact director@historicalblackprecinct.orgThanks to our sponsors at Art of Black Miami/Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau\, we can offer support to formerly incarcerated individuals and the families of those currently incarcerated\, making it possible for them to attend free of charge.⁠ If you or someone you know has been incarcerated and would like to attend this event\, please email Director@HistoricalBlackPrecinct.org. \nWe look forward to seeing you at this meaningful celebration of art and history! \nAbout the Artist: \n\nGary Tyler was just 16 years old when he was charged with shooting a white student in 1974 and sentenced to death\, a crime that\, many witnesses agree\, he did not commit. Mr. Tyler\, then a sophomore in high school in St. Charles Parish\, Louisiana\, was riding a school bus that was attacked by a segregationist mob. In the chaos\, someone fired a shot that killed a 13-year-old white boy\, Timothy Weber. After Mr. Tyler\, who is Black\, spoke to one of the deputies\, he was arrested for allegedly disturbing the peace. He was beaten while in custody\, charged with first-degree murder\, convicted by an all-white jury\, and sentenced to death.  In all\, he spent 41 years at Angola prison. \nNow\, Mr. Tyler is debuting his first solo art exhibition in Detroit\, Michigan at the Library Street Collective. The exhibition features a series of quilts made by Mr. Tyler and is called “We are the Willing\,” which was also the motto of the Angola prison’s drama club where Mr. Tyler served as president for 28 years. The series features both quilted self-portraits and brightly colored quilts of butterflies\, plants\, and birds. In an interview\, Mr. Tyler explained “I wanted to do something that was provocative\, eye-opening\, where the audience\, when they leave\, they’ll leave with an impression that this individual\, you would say he didn’t allow the conditions of prison to dehumanize him. He didn’t allow the prison to destroy his character.” \n\n\nMr. Tyler’s sentence was converted to life in prison without parole in 1976 after Louisiana’s mandatory death sentencing regime was struck down as unconstitutional. In 1981\, a federal appeals court found that Mr. Tyler’s conviction was unconstitutional but denied him a new trial. Several of the witnesses who testified against him at trial later recanted their testimony and claimed that they had been threatened by police to testify against him. During the 41 years Mr. Tyler served in prison\, he was considered a mentor to many other prisoners\, and was recommended by the Louisiana Pardon Board for a pardon three times. Despite this\, Mr. Tyler remained in prison until two U.S. Supreme Court cases struck down mandatory life without parole for juveniles\, and he had an opportunity to again seek parole. \nMr. Tyler learned how to quilt in prison. He spoke of how his mother and grandmother both sewed and how he was able to volunteer with a charity that raised funds for the prison hospice by auctioning off quilts sewed by him and other prisoners. He explained that sewing was a way to feel connected to his mother\, who passed away before he was released. \nMr. Tyler spoke about the symbolism in his quilts. He uses butterflies to represent his life’s journey: “I saw my time in prison as being almost like a cocoon. Now that I am free it’s like I’m a butterfly.” \nMr. Tyler was released in May of 2016\, and although he still professes his innocence\, he was required to plead guilty to manslaughter before being paroled. The plea prevents Mr. Tyler from receiving any reimbursement for his time in prison\, nor is he officially considered an exoneree. –Death Penalty Information Center  URL:https://historicalblackprecinct.org/event/opening-grief-not-guilty/ LOCATION:City of Miami (Historic Negro) Black Police Museum\, 480 NW 11th Stree\, Miami\, FL\, 33136\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibits,Special Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://historicalblackprecinct.org/bpm/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BPM-GNG-x-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241205T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241205T160000 DTSTAMP:20260430T062533 CREATED:20241107T165210Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241107T173610Z UID:10000123-1733409000-1733414400@historicalblackprecinct.org SUMMARY:Artist & Panel Conversation | Grief Not Guilty: Reclaiming My Time DESCRIPTION:The Black Police Precinct and Courthouse Museum is honored to invite you to the opening reception of the powerful exhibition\, Grief Not Guilty: Reclaiming My Time. \nEvent Schedule: \n\n1:00 PM – VIP Ticketed Event*  Enjoy hors d’oeuvres and spirits sponsored by Black Art Guide (B.A.G.) in an exclusive setting.

Light refreshments will be served and you will also have the opportunity to share your experience during our oral history collection. \nAbout the Exhibition: \nThis exhibition is dedicated to honoring the noteworthy contributions of Black women within the spheres of law enforcement and the judicial system. This curatorial idea emerges as a profound initiative by Chief Anita Najiy\, the inaugural female Assistant Chief of the City of Miami Police Department\, during the February 2023 Black History Month celebrations where she decided to honor black women in Miami Police Department. Employing glass mixed media print and fabric\, Chief Najiy adeptly captures the imagery of Black women\, imbuing the exhibition with contextual depth that underscores their pivotal roles in shaping law enforcement practices. \nThe motivation behind this exhibit is that Black women not only shattered glass ceilings but also effectuated transformative changes within law enforcement departments. The impact of these changes can be seen in present day practices on the police force: emergency response\, enhanced case-solving methodologies transcending state boundaries\, and the introduction of policies fostering gender equity within the force. \nIn an homage to Black Women in law enforcement and the judicial system\, Chief Anita Najiy received a museum commission to craft a commemorative series of 100 plates\, employing her distinctive mixed media design. Titled “THIS WOMEN’S WORK: A Tribute to Justice For All\,” this meticulously curated exhibition aims to highlight the exceptional contributions of Black women occupying influential positions. The incorporation of the West African (Ashanti) kente cloth\, traditionally reserved for royalty and special occasions\, serves as a poignant symbol on each plate. This fabric\, imbued with historical significance dating back to the trans-Atlantic slave trade (1501-1867)\, resonates with the narrative of nearly 60% of enslaved Black individuals trafficked during this tumultuous period. Many of these individuals\, hailing from royal families\, tragically found themselves ensnared in village tribal wars\, subsequently traded as commodities to European merchants in exchange for firearms\, textiles\, beads\, and various other commodities. \nThe exhibition’s compelling photographic depictions of Black women in their professional attire serve to underscore the persistent need for representation. This resonates particularly in light of the fact that women continue to occupy less than 32% of executive leadership roles in the workforce. Symbolically represented by glass plates\, the numerous obstacles akin to glass ceilings that women\, especially Black women\, confront in their pursuit of recognition for work equal to that of their male counterparts are vividly depicted. \nBeyond its aesthetic richness\, the exhibition aspires to shed light on the daily challenges faced by Black women\, fostering a dialogue on the imperative need for equal compensation for their invaluable services. “This Woman’s Work” draws inspiration from the musical compositions of the American artist Maxwell\, specifically his melodious celebration of women’s joys and contributions in the song title this exhibit is named after. His song serves as an admonishment for men to shoulder the responsibility of ensuring that women are treated with respect and adorned for their achievements. \nThis exhibition will remain on display until April 1\, 2024. \nFor more information please contact docent@historicalblackprecinct.org or call 305.329.2513.
