What is the history of the black power fist?

The raising of a closed fist as symbol of black power has a long history. At first it was not exclusively used in relation to people of African descent, but by marginalised groups worldwide experiencing any form of oppression, to reject discriminatory behaviour.

The brandished fist was a rebuff of unjust authority and an act of collective resistance.

When the Black Panther Party was founded in 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale to challenge police brutality against the African American community, the black power fist was repeatedly used as a symbol of black liberation.

Photos and video footage of the Black Panthers saluting each other with raised fists at conventions, meetings and rallies solidified the symbol as synonymous with the fight for black civil rights. In an iconic moment at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics Games, the American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos, who both received medals, each donned a black glove and raised their fists while the national anthem played during the medal ceremony.

In reference to the subversive gesture, Mr Carlos wrote in his book The John Carlos Story: “Hey, world, the United States is not like you might think it is for blacks and other people of colour. Just because we have USA on our chest does not mean everything is peachy keen and we are living large.” Years later, when the anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela was released from prison in 1990 – after spending 27 years in jail – he raised a fist in triumph alongside his wife. The black power fist has also been adopted by allies of the black community, including feminist activist Gloria Steinem and politician Bernie Saunders.

Please nobody give them business. I beg you

Let them lose everything

Of course he would

He hates trump and the color of his skin

Sons a lib too

I wish someone would keep a running list on PT of all businesses that support this crap as a lasting reminder.

We have control and the power, boycott and write a comment on their reviews
