Additional Details

One of the more enduring images by Douglas. An alternate newspaper version featured the man standing alone, wearing a button which read "For every pork chop there is a frying pan" (see The Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas, page 89). In this version, he stands with other revolutionaries and the button has a photograph of Ericka Huggins. We have also seen a larger version of this image on newsprint.
