Unbound. Zustand: Good. no date, perhaps mid 1990s. Single sheet, white paper stock. Legal sized paper, 14 by 8 ½ inches. Printed on both sides. Several black and white photos of leaders present. An informational flyer announcing a public meeting to be held at the Africa Room of the International House in Philadelphia. The flyer discusses alleged criminal acts and behavior by two people who were part of the African People's Socialist Party's Philadelphia organization, Mshindi Shabazz (Victor McDavis) and Kentake Nzapa (Bonita Worley). The flyer alleges that Shabazz created an illegal center of power that rivaled the Central Committee of the African People's Socialist Party, stole items from the Philadelphia organization, threatened violence and made slanderous accusations. The meeting was initiated so that the African People's Socialist Party could explain to the community what was going on within the party. Participants included Omali Yeshitela, Ousainou Mbenga, Kinara Zima, Akua Njeri, Penny Hess and Kamau Becktemba.

A rather humble memorial poster, issued without any date or identifying information, for Soledad Brother and Black Power icon George Jackson. Jackson, an inmate at Soledad State Prison in California, was killed by prison guards during an escape attempt in 1971, which began when he pulled a 9mm pistol from underneath his wig, pointed it at a prison guard, and declared, "Gentlemen, the dragon has come!" A similar poster was produced by Marcus Books in San Francisco, but we find no references to, or catalogued examples of, the current poster, which came from a Chicago collection and may have been made for neighborhood distribution. The central image is a somewhat unusual portrait of Jackson, showing him in three-quarter profile, in prison uniform, wearing eyeglasses. Of the many dozens of popular images of Jackson, this is the only one in which we've seen him wearing glasses.…
