"Some of Emory Douglas’s images are nearly forty years old, but they are still as powerful as when Douglas first created them. They are dangerous pictures, and they were meant to change the world."

Join Justin, Ryan and the "Social Action" stream for a trip to the Emory Douglas: Black Panther exhibit at the New Museum this Thursday at 6:30PM.

The exhibit examines the life and work of Emory Douglas, a graphic artist and Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party. Douglas was responsible for the design of the Party's national newspaper The Black Panther and his visually striking work graced its pages throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s. For more information, visit the New Museum website.

We will meet in the lobby of Broome at 6:30 on Thursday to walk over to the New Museum together. After the exhibit we will meet back in the Broome Room (around 8:30) for a brief discussion over coffee and cookies. All are welcome to attend, but please RSVP by filling out this form.
