The raised fist is a symbol that has been used to represent solidarity, resistance, and strength in various social and political movements. Its origins can be traced back to labor movements in the early 20th century, but it gained widespread recognition during the civil rights movement and later within the Black Power movement in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. The gesture is often associated with advocating for social justice, civil rights, and anti-racism.
