Lot Description

[CIVIL RIGHTS]. H. Rap Brown. Amerikkka says to Black people: "You either fight to die, or you live to die!" N.p.: N.p., ca 1970.


18 x 23 3/4 in. poster printed on red paper (creases including significant crease near lower edge, small chips or tears at edges). 

H. Rap Brown (b. 1943) was the fifth chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1966 and during a brief 6-month alliance with the Black Panther Party, served as their minister of justice. As a high-profile protester, he often advocated for violence against the government, which caused him to be targeted by the COINTELPRO program. In early 1970, he fled for 18 months and appeared on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted List." While imprisoned (1971-76), he converted to Islam and changed his name to Jamil Abdullah al-Amin.
