The Movement Newspaper 1969 BLACK PANTHER PARTY Iconic Radical Graphic Design
The Movement Newspaper 1969 BLACK PANTHER PARTY Iconic Radical Graphic Design. Published by the Movement Press, San Francisco, California, 1969. This issue of Movement features three extraordinary graphic images printed in red and black ink, two of which were released as iconic posters. The front page features abolitionist John Brown. The back page features three members of The Black Panther Party adapted from a photo by Black Panther Party Photographer Stephen Shames with text adapted from William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell The Panthers of Wrath are Wiser than the Horses of Instruction. The centerfold features an article with a brilliant graphic of raised fists and dripping blood about the death of Sammy Younge, Jr. A 21 year old Black college student and activist who in 1966 was murdered in Tuskegee, Alabama by a white gas station attendant for refusing to use the segregated bathroom for Black people. Newspaper format, 17.5″ x 11.5″, 24 pages, printed in black and red ink, illustrated throughout with historic b&w photographs and imagery. GOOD CONDITION: horizontal fold as issued, it’s just a touch fragile but readable and pretty solid, the spine fold has holes/tearing but is holding, the pages are age toned, have small edge tearing/chipping, the front cover has some scrapes, small hole in the horizontal fold and has a name/address stamp in the lower margin (it had been mailed when issued), overall clean and unmarked, and the red ink in these truly iconic graphics remains bright.
