"As a Panther, and as someone who went underground as an urban guerrilla, I have put my life on the line. I have watched my comrades die and spent most of my adult life in prison. But I still believe that we can win." —Ashanti Alston, 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘞𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪 𝘖. 𝘈𝘭𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘯

A photo of the cover of Anarchist Panther: The Selected Writings of Ashanti O. Alston, centered over a rug with floral deep purple and blue tones. "Anarchist Panther" is in sharp, slightly right diagonal upward orange text, almost like a comic book, and stands out on top of the green - black photo portrait of Ashanti.

A scan of a black and white collaged page from one of Ashanti Alston's zines he made in the '90s. There are two columns of photobooth photos of Ashanti with a drawing of a black panther in a cage between them. Below them is a narrow grey portait rectangular column that reads (in Western-style font) "ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"
