Black Panther - Tous les prisonniers politiques afro-américains doivent être libérés. Tout le pouvoir au peuple ! 1971

This powerful 1971 original poster is a rare artifact of international solidarity with the Black Panther Party, produced during a time of intense political resistance and global revolutionary fervor. Designed with striking urgency and visual defiance, the poster bears the bold headline in French:
“Tous les prisonniers politiques afro-américains doivent être libérés”
(All African-American political prisoners must be freed) — a rallying cry for justice echoing beyond U.S. borders.

Set against a vivid green background, the design features a collage of key Black Panther figures and political prisoners:

• Angela Davis, her iconic afro symbolizing resistance

• George Jackson, whose death in San Quentin would ignite global outrage

• Jonathan Jackson, James McClain, and William Christmas, all associated with the tragic Marin County courthouse rebellion

• Bobby Seale, co-founder of the Black Panther Party

• Ericka Huggins, educator and activist

• Ruchell Magee, sole survivor of the 1970 courthouse incident and symbol of the ongoing fight for Black liberation

• And the Soledad Brothers, whose imprisonment and persecution galvanized support worldwide

Above them, a roaring black panther leaps forward — the unmistakable emblem of the movement — and the slogan “Tout le pouvoir au peuple!” (All power to the people!) echoes across the poster in bold typography.

This poster is not just political propaganda — it is revolutionary art. It represents a global call for human rights, anti-imperialism, and racial justice. Printed in France, likely for rallies, demonstrations, or activist networks, it reflects the internationalist vision of the Black Panther Party and its impact on the global left.

A rare and evocative original 1971 silkscreen, this poster captures the voice of a movement and the spirit of a generation unwilling to remain silent.
