A photograph of prison artist C-Note, superimposed on a background inspired by Black Panther artist Emory Douglas, symbolizing Black August and the ongoing struggle for Black liberation.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The image features a photograph of prison artist C-Note, known as The King of Prison Hip Hop, superimposed on a background inspired by the revolutionary art style of Emory Douglas. C-Note is depicted shirtless, wearing blue prison pants with "CDCR" printed on them, standing with his hands on his hips in a powerful stance. The background includes bold, radiating rays reminiscent of the iconic visual elements used by Emory Douglas, the former Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party. Douglas's art was known for its high contrast, bold lines, and vibrant colors, often depicting themes of black-American oppression and empowerment. This work is a tribute to both C-Note's contributions in highlighting the harsh realities of incarceration and Douglas's legacy in visualizing the struggle for civil rights and social justice. This image also commemorates Black August, a time to honor the fight for Black liberation and to reflect on the continuous struggle against systemic oppression.
