About this Item

Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party, Presumed publisher. No place or date, perhaps Chicago, circa 1969/1970. Single sheet of medium weight paper stock. 25 by 18 inches. A poster commemorating the life of Black Panther Party member Spurgeon 'Jake' Winters. Winters was killed by police in a shootout on November 13, 1969, a few weeks before Fred Hampton was assassinated by police. The killing of Winters led the Black Panther Party to establish a free health clinic in Chicago bearing his name. Some of these events were portrayed in a fictionalized version in the 2021 film, Judas and the Black Messiah. The poster includes Winters' birth and death dates (Nov. 12, 1950-Nov. 13, 1969) and the quote, "He who swings the mighty sword for the poor oppressed people is a revolutionary in deed and will make great contributions to world peace and the liberation of mankind!" Black Panther Party of Chicago address and phone number present, as well as three small panther logos. VERY GOOD condition. A few minor wrinkles and creases present. A few small bumps along the extremities.
