About this Item
A flyer for an Africa Freedom Day rally organized by the Chicago-based African-American Heritage Association at the Tabernacle Baptist Church, 4130 Indiana Ave. Speakers included the Rev. James Bevel (SCLC), Ernest de Maio (Pres., District 1, United Electrical Workers), and Christine Johnson and Ishmael Flory (African-American Heritage Association). Music was provided by folk singer Jimmy Collier. The text-heavy flyer poses eight questions regarding the link between the civil rights movement and anti-imperialist struggles in Africa and Asia (especially Vietnam). The African-American Heritage Association was founded in 1958 through an unlikely collaboration between Nation of Islam school teacher Christine Johnson and Southside Communist Party activist Ishmael Flory. As scholar Ian Maxwell Rocksborough-Smith describes, "more than any other black public history group in the city, the AAHA combined its racial and historical knowledge producing efforts with civil rights activism and diverse expressions of black nationalism at mid-Century" (p. 217, Contentious Cosmopolitans: Black Public History and Civil Rights in Cold War Chicago, 1942-1972). Offset printed on an 11" x 8 ½" sheet of pulp stock. A fine copy. Seller Inventory # 11320
