Between the Covers

Unbound. Broadside. Measuring 16¼" x 22". Thin paper sheet with two creases from being folded, as issued. Very good with light bumping at two corners, short tear at one fold and a tiny hole. A 1968 campaign poster for Communist Party President Charlene Mitchell, the first African-American women to run for the President of the United States. Mitchell was involved in politics from an early age, staging her first protest at 13 and joining the Communist Party by 16. Following the election Mitchell threw her support behind the campaign to free Angela Davis, who credited Mitchell for bringing international awareness to her cause. A wonderful image of hope. *OCLC* locates no copies.
