Description: 
This semester, I have been examining the changes in Emory Douglas’ artistic production for The Black Panther Newspaper over time, and identifying how he used his art as a vehicle to promote the ideals of the party. My work will hopefully be put toward helping create a LibGuide for Hillman Special Collections, as well as creating a didactic activity for Dr. Bender’s World Art Class next semester.
