Additional Details

A collaboration between the Black Panthers and the Yippies. One side features dueling manifestos on the 1968 "year of the pig" election by Eldridge Cleaver and a committee of Yippies led by Abby Hoffman. The other side invites us to a "Pre-Erection Day Party" (sic) at the Berkeley Community Theatre featuring Cleaver, Jerry Rubin, the Floating Lotus Magic Opera Company, and a light show. The design is credited to "A. Kitt," the layout to "J. Baldwin," and hookah art by "Allston and Milvia."
