Emory Douglas Exhibition

I was really impressed by this exhibition I saw at Manchester's Urbis. I have never looked at Emory Douglas's work before and I had only a dim understanding of the Black Panther movement. The exhibition was great because it taught me so much about the background of this time in America as well as the brilliant poster designs of Douglas. It is really important to understand the political context of these posters, I wont go into that in this blog, but it is interesting to see how a graphic designer really pushed a political message and really did help to make a difference in society.

Quick snaps of some of the highlights,
