Additional Details

A psychedelic poster from the nexus of the Black Panthers and hippies, advertising a joint birthday party for LSD guru Timothy Leary and the imprisoned Bobby Seale at Golden Gate Park. Their birthdays were both on 22 October, so this was three days late. . . . "Bring trips, food, family, music, games, soul, spirit, and body." No other examples traced at auction, none in OCLC.
