"Stay Free"-Magazine put together a show called "Illegal Art: Freedom of Expression in the Corporate Age" which is coming to the Nexus Gallery in Philadelphia from October 3rd to November 2nd, 2003. The website has some great artwork online and offers free downloads of various banned songs.
Here is a good article on the Art of the FBI.
Excerpt: "In the late 1960s, the Black Panthers started a Free Breakfast for Children program, serving thousands of black and poor kids across the U.S. Concerned that the program would spread anti-white propaganda, the FBI decided to spread their own anti-white propaganda as a pre-emptive strike. The bureau produced a 24-page coloring book, making it appear as if it had been created by the Panthers. Intending to gut public support for the group, the books contained inflamatory pictures, some of which featured young black kids shooting pigs dressed as policemen. The FBI sent copies of the coloring book to the Panthers’ white contributors and to businesses that supported the free breakfast program, such as Safeway and Jack-In-The-Box. When copies of the forgery reached the Panthers’ national leadership, Bobby Seale destroyed it, saying it "did not correctly reflect the ideology of the Black Panther Party." –Brian Boling"
