Afro-American Solidarity

Afro-American Solidarity

The unified struggle of African Descended Americans and other oppressed groups

This is a poster created by Emory Douglas and posted in the New York Times entitled “Afro-American Solidarity” in 1969, which depicts the image of a Black Panther (a woman part of the Black Panther social and political organization in the United States) spreading the idea of anti-colonial struggle and the need for solidarity amongst oppressed groups globally. While these last two images have been produced in America, their impact hasn’t been confined to just that country and it's worth examining its effects on attitudes in Canada.
