Description: A raised fist was used as a logo by the Industrial Workers of the World in 1917. It was popularized during the Spanish Civil War by the Republican faction as a greeting, and was known as the “Popular Front salute” or the “anti-fascist salute.” The graphic symbol was popularised in 1948 by Taller de Grafica Popular, a print shop in Mexico that used art to advance revolutionary social causes. The raised fist, or the clenched fist, is a symbol of solidarity and support. It is also used as a salute to express unity, strength, defiance, or resistance. The symbol has been picked up and incorporated around the world by various oppressed groups.
