Additional Details

This poster memorializes the death of activist George Jackson, who was killed during an alleged August 1971 breakout at San Quentin Prison. The colors of the American flag are shown flowing out of Jackson's bullet wounds. The title is also given in Spanish, French, and Arabic. Many of the OSPAAAL posters were originally distributed internationally in issues of the Tricontinental, hence the center fold.
