“Emory Douglas’s work one of the first things that made clear to me what an artist’s role in the Movement can be.” -Boots Riley, The Coup
“Emory’s art was a combination of expressionist agit-prop and homeboy familiarity...It armed your spirit and your demeanor” -Amiri Baraka
“There is no question who deserves the credit for all the images published in the newspaper The Black Panther during the late 1960s and early 70s. He is Emory Douglas -The New York Times April 8, 2007 Review by STEVEN HELLER
