Additional Details

"I Am a Black Woman!" is illustrated with a large portrait of Davis, and includes a poem by McCrary in tribute to her. The lithography is credited to Afro-Arts Inc. of New York, and the address of the New York Committee to Free Angela Davis is given for more information. A later printing was credited to Personality Posters.

The similar "Let's Get on the Case" features SCLC leader Rev. Ralph Abernathy, with a poem regarding his support of Angela Davis: "February 2, 1971, at the Manhattan Center in New York City; oh, how you socked it to our cakes at the birthday party given by the Free Angela Davis Committee. . . . Right on, Reverend Ralph D. Abernathy, right on, right on!" The address of the SCLC is given for more information.

While we have seen both printings of "I Am a Black Woman!" before, we cannot trace "Let's Get on the Case" in OCLC or at auction.
