Evidence of intimidation & Fascist Crimes by USA: The War on The Black Panther Party  [1968–1969]

6

A Poster designed published February 21, 1970 by The Black Panther Community News Service.

This poster depicts a timeline of law-agencies attacks and presents a gridded mapping of arrests, charges, harassment, police raids, deportation, escapes, and murders committed in acts to sustain the party. Designer Michael Hoerger, created this 9 ½” wide by 20 ⅞” long,  ink on paper sheet. The use of black, white and red is a  stylistic element of the collective identity, the use of film patterns also adds to the cohesion. This poster embodies the unwavering resistance against corruption and abuse the party maintains.
