Douglas’ covers for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/tag/black-panthers\">Black Panther Party\u003c/a> newspaper defined the look of the radical movements of the ’60s and ’70s, and more than 50 years later, those striking, high-contrast illustrations still offer a timely rebuke to police brutality and imperialism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most people know Douglas for iconic pieces like his rifle- and newspaper-toting \u003ca href=\"https://letterformarchive.org/news/emory-douglas-and-the-black-panther/?srsltid=AfmBOoqADM7tUS65s9Fz40JhaU5a-LfE8OMJynh_DkjLb3IDN2c-xxbH\">\u003cem>Paperboy\u003c/em> from 1970\u003c/a>, and in the decades since, he’s never stopped making art about liberation.

The show, co-curated by Rio Yañez and Rosalind McGary, opened last week at San Francisco’s African American Art & Culture Complex.

"content": "\u003cp>Yolanda López, the celebrated Chicana artist and longtime Mission District resident, pioneered new representations of the Chicanx community throughout decades of work in painting, photography and graphic design. Reproductions of her images became iconic symbols of the Chicano movement, in accordance with her belief that art should serve the people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She died from complications of liver cancer on Sept. 3 at age 79.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yolanda was a critical thinker. Outrageously brilliant and revolutionary feminist. Outstanding public intellectual. Painter, draftswoman, installation artist, writer, illustrator, political activist,” says Juana Alicia, an artist and one of Lopez’s close friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Born in San Diego to a working-class family, López moved to the Bay Area for college in the ’60s, and spent the rest of the decade participating in the social justice movements that rocked the nation. In the Mission, she became involved with the Third World Liberation Front’s fight for ethnic studies departments and the Los Siete movement’s agitation for the release of seven Chicano men accused of killing a white police officer.[aside postID='arts_12158966']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her political awakening was also her artistic awakening: she learned how to create punchy images from Emory Douglas, the Black Panther Party’s Minister of Culture, and pressed her talent into service by illustrating \u003cem>¡Basta Ya!\u003c/em>, a radical Mission community newspaper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13903269\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1736px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13903269\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/09/8.Free_Los_Siete-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A black-and-white print with faces seen through stripes of American flag.\" width=\"1736\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/09/8.Free_Los_Siete-scaled.jpg 1736w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/09/8.Free_Los_Siete-800x1180.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/09/8.Free_Los_Siete-1020x1504.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/09/8.Free_Los_Siete-160x236.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/09/8.Free_Los_Siete-768x1133.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/09/8.Free_Los_Siete-1041x1536.jpg 1041w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/09/8.Free_Los_Siete-1389x2048.jpg 1389w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/09/8.Free_Los_Siete-1920x2832.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1736px) 100vw, 1736px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yolanda López, ‘Free Los Siete,’ 1969. \u003ccite>(Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the mid-’70s, feeling burnt out and alienated from activism, López enrolled in a MFA program at the University of California, San Diego, where she would have the time and resources to make her most famous work.

Next to each, an underlined “Emory” identified their creator, as if the images could be attributed to anyone but the Black Panthers’ Minister of Culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the five decades since the founding of the Black Panther Party, Douglas’ work has never lost its power. In a recent interview with \u003ca href=\"https://news.artnet.com/art-world/emory-douglas-interview-1889924\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Artnet\u003c/a>, he explained, “Fifty years later, the artwork still has relevancy to it. Because we still have some of the same things happening now as happening then. You have young people who see that. When I do a talk, they’ll say, ‘Well, you could just tweak this and tweak that.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13885335\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/08/TheBlackPanther_1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"893\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13885335\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/08/TheBlackPanther_1200.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/08/TheBlackPanther_1200-800x595.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/08/TheBlackPanther_1200-1020x759.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/08/TheBlackPanther_1200-160x119.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/08/TheBlackPanther_1200-768x572.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Early issues of ‘The Black Panther’ from 1967. \u003ccite>(Courtesy The Freedom Archive)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And now audiences will have that opportunity once again.

In a 1971 \u003cem>Jet\u003c/em> magazine interview, she offered to pay the bail of Angela Davis, then imprisoned after eluding arrest for alleged ties to a courtroom escape-turned-shootout in Marin. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Angela Davis must go free,” Franklin said. “Black people will be free. I’ve been locked up… and I know you got to disturb the peace when you can’t get no peace. Jail is hell to be in. I’m going to see her free if there is any justice in our courts, not because I believe in communism, but because she’s a black woman and she wants freedom for black people. I have the money; I got it from black people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franklin noted that her father, the preacher C.L. Franklin, did not approve of her position. “Well, I respect him, of course,” she said, “but I’m going to stick by my beliefs. Angela Davis must go free.

Kaiser) as part of a gospel revue led by her father. The event, promoted by Mel Reid of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2010/10/06/130376601/reid-s-records-65-years-of-family-owned-gospel\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Reid’s Records\u003c/a> in Berkeley, yielded her classic recording, “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=korCFV2etT8\">Precious Lord, Parts 1 and 2\u003c/a>.” In 1967, after making her San Francisco debut at the Jazz Workshop in North Beach, she returned to the Oakland Civic Auditorium as a headliner near the height of her secular stardom. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Franklin has a plaque on the West Oakland Blues of Walk of Fame commemorating artists who performed on 7th Street, but in a 2015 \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandpost.org/2015/08/04/queen-soul-aretha-franklin-returns-oakland/\">interview\u003c/a> with the \u003cem>Oakland Post\u003c/em>, she claimed she never played Esther’s Orbit Room, as some have said.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1971, storied promoter Bill Graham brought her to his Fillmore West in San Francisco for three nights, a recording of which was released on Atlantic Records that year as \u003cem>Live at Fillmore West\u003c/em>. Album highlights include her crossover covers of Simon & Garfunkel and Beatles, done as stomping, gospel-tinged funk, and a 19-minute duet, “Spirit in the Dark,” with surprise guest Ray Charles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franklin performed several times at the Circle Star Theater in Santa Clara, but between the years 1978 and 2014, a fear of flying kept Franklin from performing in the Bay Area entirely.
