"By the late 1960s, the afro hairstyle, famously worn by political activist Angela Davis and celebrities including Nina Simone and Diana Ross, became a symbol of Black pride, solidarity, and empowerment. The combs used to style afros also reflected these principles, none more so than the fist comb. With a handle in the shape of the Black Power salute, a variety of styles were designed and patented in the 1970s.
