Author: [Social Movements] Campus Progressive Labor Party
Title: Fight Political Repression! Flier
Description: San Francisco, Campus Progressive Labor Party, Publisher. Unbound. no date, either late 1968 or early to mid 1969. Single sheet, yellow paper stock, 8 ½ by 11 inches. Printed on a single side only. A flier issued by the San Francisco State University Campus chapter of the Progressive Labor Party, a Marxist-Leninist group. The party, inspired and united with students striking on the SFSU campus, sought to rally support for anti-racist policies, supporting groups such as the Black Student Union and the Third World Liberation Front at the university. Those groups sought better access to education, the creation of a Black studies program and other policies designed to create equality for Black students at the university. This culminated in a lengthy student strike that was met with police violence and suppression, but that ultimately succeeded in achieving some of the strikers' goals. This flier by the Progressive Labor Party draws attention to a ban on a limit/ban on assembly in Berkeley, ostensibly to limit "terrorist" activity, but most likely done to limit protests. The flier highlights state repression of Black protestors and Black liberation groups, and urges protestors to break the ban. GOOD condition. Horizontal and vertical fold creases present. Minor creasing at the corners. A few tiny tears along the edges. Good .
