Collection: Survival Pending Revolution

The Survival Pending Revolution Collection honors M. Gayle Dickson, also known as Asali, the only woman artist in the Black Panther Party’s Intercommunal News Service from 1972 to 1974. Asali’s work powerfully illustrated the experiences of women, elders, and children, reflecting the Party's mission of resistance and community activism.

This collection features her original artwork, which accompanied key initiatives like the Survival Pending Revolution campaign and the “Oakland: A Base of Operation” efforts. Each piece speaks to the ongoing struggles for social justice, drawing connections between the past and today’s challenges.
