This poster has a bright red background with bold black text. At the top, it reads "Committee to Defend the Panthers." Below that is a face—half green, half gray—with wide eyes and an open mouth, like it’s shouting. The words "Free All Political Prisoners" and "All Power to the People" are written in big, uneven letters. The face looks like it’s made from cut-out paper, with sharp edges and clashing colors. The artist used simple shapes to make it stand out. If you like this style, check out Faith Ringgold.
