Revolutionary

This 1972 poster by Wadsworth Jarrell was on display at the National Civil Rights Museum. Another great museum, showing the struggles African American people have had from slavery to current day. The museum made me realise how much my impressions have been swayed by the overwhelmingly white narrative we are usually exposed to. Such gains as African American people have made since the abolition of slavery have been largely in spite of, not because of, white people. The assassination of Martin Luther King resulted in  a switch from Gandhi-style passive resistance to the more assertive black power movement, expressed in this poster. 
This museum tells the full story, all the way back to Africa.
