“By Any Means Necessary” is based off of a lithograph poster by Emory Douglas, the Black Panther Party’s Minister of Culture.
During 2016, I curated an exhibit “(M)Emory” in collaboration with a group of Detroit Public School students I was teaching at the time. Following a semester-long study on the art of the political poster, my students and I explored the work of Emory through a series of prints paying respect to his eyes, designs, hands, medium, and message.
This matted print, which measures 8″ x 10″ matted was created using an intricate process called chin-collé. The founding principle of this piece is that we must continue to fight for the equality of all oppressed minorities by any means necessary.

Fun Fact: From ’67-’80, Emory Douglas oversaw the art direction and production of The Black Panther, the party’s official newspaper. In it, he used his artwork as a tool to combat institutions and persons the party viewed as perpetrators of racism, police brutality, and global imperialism.
