A few weeks back I had the opportunity to follow artist David Young V and Sean Stewart of Babylon Falling rolling through the Tenderloin in SF pasting up artwork as a tribute to the legendary Emory Douglas, former Minister of Culture of the Black Panther Party.

Sean was in town for a series of talks and booksignings to promote his book “On the Ground — An Illustrated Anecdotal History of the Sixties Underground Press” and brought with him reproductions of a powerful piece Emory created for the back cover of the Black Panther Party Newspaper in the 60s.

This is the first of two photosets I will be posting from that night.
