by Youth International Party
Original flyer, 21.5 by 27.8 cm (8 1/2 by 11-inches), printed recto only, offset in red and black. Paper is faintly yellowed with light creases from being folded in quarters. There is a tiny nick on the bottom edge and a minute pinhole near the upper right corner. A Yippie flyer for a "Free Bobby / Stop the Trial" demonstration at the "Dept. of Injustice" in Washington. Dated November 15, I'm assuming this was from 1969 when Bobby Seal, co-founder of the Black Panthers, "was sentenced to four years in prison on sixteen counts of contempt of court during the federal Chicago Eight trial in Chicago; he was charged for his insistent claims to the right to choose his own lawyer, or to represent himself." Wonderful graphics from the storied Youth International Party.
