What is a Pig ?
A low natured beast that has no regard for law, justice, or the rights of people; a creature
that bites the hand that feeds it; a foul, depraved traducer, usually found
masquerading as the victim of an unprovoked attack.
Listen to them Pigs banging on my door asking for some rent money...
They should be paying my rent.
They should be paying my rent.
The work of American artist, Emory Douglas, Director of Art for The Black Panther for over a decade. These selections are from his exhibition at the MOCA gallery in Los Angeles last year. Images like these were put on the cover of The Black Panther's weekly publication and evoked their message of Revolution and Hope. His art came twofold, being both aesthetically striking and functionally necessary for the advancement of The Party. His symbolism was aggressive and his message was clear. And with little formal training, Douglas' prolific work was a driving force in getting The Black Panther Party's message to the public and drawing attention to the concerns of all oppressed peoples. Mr. Douglas, we salute you.
