Additional Details

A mother teaches her young son to participate in the armed struggle. A target is set up for practice just outside their window.

We have seen two different printings of this poster, with their priority undetermined. On this one, the credit reads "Revolutionary art by / Minister of Culture / EMORY" in the lower left, and has the address one three lines; the Black Panther logo is about half the size of the mother's foot and overlaps the image slightly; and the cushion in lower right has four and a half loops in the lower part.
