2026 marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Black Panther Party. The revolutionary organization’s 10-point program, “survival pending revolution” programs, and bold effective organizing for health care, education, housing and much more shocked the white establishment. As a result, the U.S. government targeted the BPP for severe repression, including the imprisonment and assassination of several party leaders.
This commemorative poster features a collage of Ricardo’s illustrations, made from the late 1960’s to the present day, that feature the Black Panthers (and some of their Rainbow Coalition allies). Fred Hampton, “Lil” Bobby Hutton” and Bobby Seale are among those Panthers shown–along with countless others whose names are less well remembered. In the background (and held up by an illustrated activist) are copies of The Black Panther newspaper, which Ricardo helped distribute on the streets of Chicago in 1968.
Read Ricardo’s reflections on the Panthers and their comrades the Young Lords, in his essay Remembering Chairman Fred.
