An Attack Against One Is An Attack Against All: From Civil Rights To Black Power
Poster House, the first museum in the United States dedicated to the global history of posters, will host an educational panel discussion on June 22, 2023 from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM at Poster House, 119 West 23rd Street in Manhattan. In recognition of one of Poster House’s main spring exhibitions, Black Power to Black People: Branding the Black Panther Party, Poster House is partnering with the National Center for Civil and Human Rights for this panel discussion on the impact of the civil rights movement and the Black Power movement.
The civil rights movement and the Black Power movement are often presented as discrete and, at times, antithetical campaigns. While these separate approaches relied on different tactics and strategies, both were effective in securing fundamental human rights for Black people in America and have more in common than is generally recognized. Both addressed their audiences through powerful imagery and accessible visual language, thereby galvanizing the masses. The discussion around these overlapping but divergent movements will pay special attention to the role of visual communication for each radical strategy.
Tickets can be reserved online in advance of June 22nd. This event will also be live-streamed to accommodate for Poster House’s virtual audience.
