The raised fist or clenched fish is not limited to blacks, but is a universal symbol of solidarity and brotherhood. It has also been used since the beginning of time as a greeting to show unity, strength, rebellion, and insurgency.
The beginning of the raised fist as a logo or gesticulation is unclear, although a clenched fist is a conflict device, as in boxing. as early as 1914, the clenched fist was named by mother earth journal as “symbol of social revolution”. a clenched right fist was used in animation by the industrial workers of the world (iww) in 1917.
The clenched fist logo, which is so popular, can express union or solidarity, usually with repressed communities. The black fist, also known as the black power fist, is a logo commonly affiliated with black nationalism, resistance, solidarity, and socialism. Its most generally understood practice is that of the Black Panther Party, a socialist organization, in the 1960s. A black fist logo was also adopted by the northern soul music subculture. the socialist international and some socialist or social democratic parties, such as the socialist party in france and the socialist workers’ party in spain, adopt a white fist with the right hand holding a red rose.
The symbol you see with a raised fist is actually very historical in its genesis. In the beginning, it was not limited to just black people, but to anyone who belonged to a minority group. it was a retaliation to condemn any type of oppressive behavior or discriminatory attitude. This fist was then only a rejection of unjust authority and was used when protesting collectively.
when the black panther party was established in 1966 by huey p. newton and bobby seale to confront police cruelty against the black community, the black power fist was frequently used as a sign of black liberation. There were photographs and video footage of members of the Black Panthers shaking their fists at different events such as meetings, conventions and rallies, which made the symbol more profound and synonymous with the civil rights of black people.
on an iconic note at the 1968 mexico city olympics, medal winning american runners tommie smith and john carlos wore a black glove and raised their fists as the national anthem was played during the ceremony medal delivery. Similarly, the Black Lives Matter movement campaigns to challenge brutality and systemic bias directed toward Black people and was co-founded in the summer of 2013 by Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi.
The raised fist is not the only depiction displayed by the campaign, but it was asserted at another event following the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in August 2014. The unarmed black teenager was shot by police officers who they were white and that they claimed they shot him in self-defense. then the black power fist was used to describe the “hands up, don’t shoot” pose.
has been seen on the internet and in various demonstrations since then as an emblem of resistance and defiance. the black fist emoji was also created in 2015!
