Black Power 50

Black Power 50 - Review of the exhibition catalog - The New York Times

“Black Power 50” is, in some ways, a collection of the greatest hits. The book grants significant real estate to the major players, events and issues. ... At its core, “Black Power 50” serves as an excellent textbook, one that not only covers all the bases but also dives into aspects of the movement that have received scarce attention, most notably (and, for me, surprisingly) the international influence of Black Power, from a photo of members of the Australian Black Panther Party to a reminiscence from an Israeli Black Panther.

Kirkus Review

An illuminating text accompanies visuals from an exhibit commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Black Power movement.

This heavily illustrated book serves as a catalog of sorts for a similarly titled exhibition curated by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and it reflects a legacy that encompasses arts and culture (from poetry to visual arts to free jazz), educational initiatives, prison reform, and even fashion.

The text and visuals combine for an educational, eye-opening experience.
