The artistic legacy of the Black Panther Party is still widely felt decades after the revolutionary group ceased formal operations.
OAKLAND, Calif -- Emory Douglas' bright, smile draws you in, and so does his art. Douglas is the former Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party.Led by Douglas, the group of artists, Gayle"Assali" Dickson, Malik Edwards, Tarika Lewis, and a few others, created and printed the Panther's newspaper and the caption-filled art that went inside, and on the front and back pages. Together, they solidified a cultural movement.
Malik Edwards, now a teacher in Oakland, had just returned from Vietnam where he fought in the war as a Marine. Billy X. Jennings, the group's unofficial archivist has kept a room full of Black Panther memorabilia, and a closet full of hundreds of carefully stored Black Panther Party newspapers on the second floor of his home in Sacramento.
The party and the art were based on a ten-point program written by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale: a list of basic human rights, needs, and goals including, proper housing, education, stopping the murder of Blacks, trial by a jury of peers, and disavowing the incarceration of Black people."Because remember, back in the 60s, in the early 70s, literacy was a problem in a lot of communities," said Edwards.
