Contact seller4-star sellerFirst edition. Four large folio leaves, approx. 17-1/2 X 22 in.; the additional poster somewhat larger. The complete set of three "Street Wall Journal" posters, issued in conjunction with the student strike at Columbia University in the spring of 1970, protesting the latest escalation of the Vietnam War and raising funds to aid…in the defense of 21 members of the Black Panther Party facing conspiracy charges in New York. The posters mimic the look and format of the "Wall Street Journal" newspaper, and were meant to be posted around campus to inform sympathizers and raise awareness. Graphically striking, especially the third poster with its image of a shouting Panther raising a chained fist, each poster featured a banner headline: "Why We Strike", "Toward a General Strike", and "The Panthers: History as Repression.Repression as History". The fourth poster here is printed on two sides, one announcing the conference program, beginning June 15, 1970; the other side with four columns of text highlighting the range of grievances and summer protest actions at NYU. Some inconsequential wrinkles, a bit of offsetting at one edge; fine copies.
