Commemoration Day Solemn March in Honor of Malcolm X... [caption title]

[N.p., likely Harlem, 1970. Good.. Illustrated broadside, 11 x 8.5 inches. Old folds, minor chipping and several old tape repairs to edges, moderate toning, light soiling. An undated but certainly early flyer advertising a "Solemn March" in celebration of Malcolm X Commemoration Day in Harlem in the late-1960s. The work includes a hand-drawn portrait of Malcolm X at lower left, with a long list of over twenty sponsors for the march printed at right. Malcolm is identified in two locations by his Muslim name, El Haji Malik El Shabazz, and honored as "The Prince of Our Black Captive Non-Self Governing People." The sponsors include the NAACP, Yoruba Temple, CORE, Organization of Afro-American Unity, Urban League, SNCC, Negro Labor Committee, Harlem Defense Council, United African Nationalists Movements, the World Federation of African People, Inc., and more. The flyer was designed by Art Scott and prepared by Awareness Advertising. The march was scheduled on February 20, to begin at the corner of 110th Street and Lenox Avenue in Harlem. A highly-ephemeral handbill celebrating the memory of Malcolm X; we could find no other examples of this attractive flyer anywhere.
