They will try to make you quit. Refuse. Persistent people are not the ones who never get knocked down; they are the ones who stand back up with their fist in the air.

The History Behind the Image
The raised fist became one of the defining symbols of the Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s, a sign of unity, pride, and resistance. Medallions bearing the shape of Africa became popular in the same era as an expression of connection to the continent and to the African diaspora.
