A brief history of the "clenched fist" image


A persistent symbol of resistance and unity, the clenched fist (or raised fist) is part of the broader genre of 'hand' symbols that include the peace 'V,' the forward-thrust-fist, and the clasped hands. The clenched fist usually appears in full frontal display showing all fingers and is occasionally integrated with other images such as a peace symbol or tool.
