Black Panther: The Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas

This exhibition traces the searing graphic art made by Emory Douglas while he worked as Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party from 1967 until its discontinuation in the early 1980s. The Black Panthers cultivated a strong graphic identity for their group and their politics during this period, bringing their concerns to the public through newspapers, posters, and pamphlets that can often be described as angry, militant, and incendiary.
