Photos of Sostre on the front, with a small photo of William Worthy on the back. A printing of an article by journalist William Worthy, discussing the plight of Martin Sostre, a Black activist who was jailed for falsified charges against him under COINTELPRO. Sostre, after his release from prison in 1966, opened a bookstore in Buffalo that specialized in anarchist, Black power and other ideologies. The US perceived him as a threat, falsified charges and jailed him until 1975, with Sostre serving several years in solitary confinement. Written by William Worthy, an African American journalist who himself experienced a similar situation at the hands of the US government, when he was charged with returning to the United States without a valid passport. His passport was seized after his travels to China in 1957; despite this Worthy travelled to and from Cuba in 1961, being detained in April of 1962. Worthy was sentenced to three months in jail in late July of 1962. His lawyers asserted that he was being singled out, and that other, white, travelers did not face jail time for the same offense. GOOD condition. Heavy offsetting and moderate toning to the paper. Minor soiling and wrinkling. Good .
