The Resistance Is Not Dead
A Hyperallergic roundup presents three culture stories: a new round of “Fall of Freedom,” Alice Neel drawings depicting the Foley Square trials heading to auction, and the overlooked architect behind Washington, DC’s landmark museum of African American history and culture. The supplied excerpt does not provide further details about the projects, auction, or architect.
Hyperallergic’s October 2, 2026 edition of “The Resistance Is Not Dead” features three culture-related items. The roundup includes another round of “Fall of Freedom,” an auction involving drawings by Alice Neel, and a feature on an architect associated with Washington, DC’s landmark museum of African American history and culture.
The excerpt identifies Neel’s works as drawings of the Foley Square trials. It says those drawings are going to auction, but does not state the auction house, date, location, number of works, expected prices, or ownership history.
The roundup also refers to an “unsung architect” behind the museum, but the supplied material does not identify the architect or provide details about the architect’s role, the museum’s design, or the feature’s argument. It likewise does not explain what the next round of “Fall of Freedom” involves.
No further information about the events, participants, dates, locations, or outcomes is included in the supplied source excerpt.
