always remember: ‘REVOLUTIONARY’ does NOT<\/em> mean . . . terrorist.
\nwitness our world after 9\/11: terrorist equals . . FASCIST, BRUTALLY REPRESSIVE, HYPER-VIOLENT & the very anti-thesis of . . freedom, liberty, speech, art & LIFE !!<\/p>\n

at least, that’s my take away – from the new Black Panther documentary.<\/a><\/p>\n

my other take away – was the discovery of this artist: EMORY DOUGLAS.
\nI had seen his work, but wasn’t aware of the total story – Minister of Culture for the BPP, the Black Panther Party from 1967 thru 80s – his art defined a generation & then took off and became global symbols for freedom.<\/p>\n

there is a wonderful, vivid, and profoundly informative<\/strong> video clip on Mr. Douglas, his historical take on the Black Panthers – and the times they rose up from, his own involvement, as well personal first person background about his art-making.<\/p>\n
