Border copy reads: civil rights leader, organizer, singer, strategist of non-violent change, served time for draft resistance, refused to sit in the back of the bus in 1942, organized early �freedom ride� in 1947, studied Gandhian non-violence in India, associate of A.J. Muste, A. Phillip Randolph, and M.L. King Jr., under frequent attack for radical views and gayness, organized 1963 march on Washington, grew conservative in later years, supporting the Viet Nam War and breaking with former allies.
This unsung hero of the civil rights movement lived a fascinating life, which is sketched out around the border of the image. Tans, browns, and black on a cream paper; silkscreened poster.
