Black Panther Party posters, by Emory Douglas.

Emory Douglas joined the BPP in 1967 and served as Minister of Culture, designing artwork that became potent symbols of the movement. Douglas originally helped with the layout of the Black Panthers’ newspaper, and realised that art could enhance their campaigns and reach the masses.

“I am a man.” - On February 12, 1968, Memphis sanitation workers, the majority of whom were Black, went on strike demanding recognition for their union, better wages, and safer working conditions after two trash handlers were killed by a malfunctioning garbage truck. The strike gained national attention and dragged on into March. Striking workers carried copies of a poster declaring “I AM A MAN,” a statement that recalled a question abolitionists posed more than 100 years earlier, “Am I not a man and a brother?”

"Harlem: Mecca of the New Negro”—The March 1925 edition of the Survey Graphic. The Survey Graphic was a monthly illustrative national magazine that launched in 1921 with the longer running mag, The Survey. The Survey Graphic also known as the “Magazine of Social Interpretation” lasted from 1921—1952; it covered social and political issues of the time. The March 1925 issue of the Survey Graphic is considered a collector’s item. The issue was edited by the Philadelphian Writer, Philosopher, Patron of the Arts and Educator, Alain Leroy Locke. In this issue, Locke educated white readers about the flourishing culture of the Harlem Renaissance. Locke highlighted Black writers of the Harlem Renaissance like W.E.B Du Bois, James Weldon Johnson, Arthur Shomburg, Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen. December of 1925, Alain LeRoy Locke expanded the issue, into one of his best known works as a landmark in black literature, The New Negro.
