An Attack Against One Is an Attack Against All, 1968
Designer Unknown
The history of the logo can be traced back to designer Ruth Howard, a member of the Atlanta branch of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee where she learned how visuals could galvanize a community.
In 1966, SNCC organizers in Lowndes county approached her to create the symbol.
Howard originally designed a dove to express power and autonomy but it wasn’t well received.
She eventually based it on the school mascot of Clark College, a local HBCU.
Dorothy Zeller, a white Jewish woman, added whiskers and the black color

The Black Panther Party is often associated with armed resistance, but one of the most potent weapons in its outreach to African-Americans in cities across the country was its artwork.
In posters, pamphlets and its popular newspaper, The Black Panther, the party’s imagery was guided by the vision of Emory Douglas, its minister of culture.
