Surprise appreciation gathering for my photos

            Thinking I was going to a reunion of UC Townhomes residents July 27 at One Arts Center in West Philadelphia, when I walked in, I was met with a loud "surprise" by a large crowd of Philly activists.

I was quickly told everyone was there to thank me for years of taking photos at hundreds of political events - a "tribute of photographer Joe Piette."

It was an incredible showing of love for me I will never forget. I thank everyone not only for showing up July 27 but more important for participating in the many protests I've photographed.

To the people who gathered, organized and printed 300 of my photos and put in all the work for such a successful event (and were able to do it without my knowledge), I give my heartfelt thanks.

The get together of many of this city's progressive and revolutionary forces from many different struggles and organizations shows why the movement here is alive and well. The people united will never be defeated!

(Note: The group photo was taken at the end of the event, after many people had already left.)
