Emory Douglas is the definitive visual architect of the American Black Power movement. As Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party from 1967 into the early 1980s, he translated the Party’s 10-Point Platform into bold, two-color graphics for The Black Panther newspaper, earning the nickname “Norman Rockwell of the ghetto” from Bobby Seale. Raised in San Francisco and trained in printing as a teenager, Douglas portrayed oppressed communities with dignity and helped shape the Party’s iconic panther logo. His influence spans global liberation movements, from the Zapatistas to Black Lives Matter, with honors including the 2015 AIGA Medal and works held in the MoMA and Tate.
