Political Cartoons

Sometimes nothing can get a point across more effectively (or quicker) than a political cartoon. On this page you will find political cartoons from a variety of sources, including those created by Gerald 2X for the offcial Nation of Islam publication, Muhammad Speaks. There are also cartoons that appeared in Ebony, underground G.I. publications, and many other sources. You will also find a cartoon used in 1970–1971 by the New York City Board of Education's Bureau of Cirriculum Development, with a series of discussion questions aimed at 1st and 2nd graders.
