Rahman, Abdul (illustrator). "Remember the African Holocaust"/Lynchings. [Caption Title]
- New York: High Awareness, Inc, 1992
New York: High Awareness, Inc, 1992. Very good. Poster measuring 23¾" x 18". Very good with scattered light creases.
This is a large calendar meant to bring awareness of the history of slavery, as well as lynchings in the United States.
The days of the calendar are in columns at opposite edges of the poster, with three large illustrations in the middle. The illustrations depict the process of enslaving Africans, with visceral drawings of the capturing of new slaves, the middle passage, and breaking camp. Interestingly, in the breaking camp image, a young man is being whipped and the aggressor is also Black. At the bottom of the poster are two columns of text which detail the lynchings which are highlighted in red on the calendar. In between those columns is text dedicating the poster to Ida B. Wells whose early investigative journalism led to the topic of lynchings becoming part of the national conversation.
A searing reminder of slavery and lynching. OCLC locates no copies.
