Poster -Kwame Ture Said No.1
If a white man wants to lynch me, that’s his problem. If he’s got the power to lynch me, that’s my problem. Racism is not a question of attitude; it’s a question of power. - Kwame Ture
This work is my abstract interpretation of a quote by Kwame Ture, born Stokely Carmichael, and his evolving philosophy on racism and civil rights.
Kwame Ture’s political philosophy emerged from the African American struggle for self‑determination and the broader pursuit of global Black liberation. As a leading figure in the Black Power movement, he advanced a vision grounded in community control, political autonomy, and the development of collective consciousness. Ture interpreted racial oppression in the United States as part of a wider system shaped by colonialism and imperialism, arguing that genuine freedom required international solidarity and structural transformation. His commitment to revolutionary socialist pan‑Africanism positioned the civil rights era as one stage within a larger, transnational movement for the liberation of African‑descended peoples.
The bullseye signals the persistent targeting produced by racialized systems, while the gas mask evokes the ongoing struggle for safety and survival. Wasps appear as spiritual guardians, echoing beliefs in parts of Africa where they represent protection, intuition, and divine warning. The bone earring honors ancestral presence and the enduring guidance of those who came before. A vintage image of a Black man smoking gestures toward the psychological weight carried during the civil rights era, when navigating society demanded both resilience and quiet release. The “Made in USA” barcode confronts the manufactured social status imposed on Black men, questioning how identity and value are constructed within the nation’s history.
