Additional Details

A pamphlet in support of Ruchell Magee, the only survivor among the four prisoners who attempted to escape from the Marin County Courthouse in 1970 by taking a judge hostage. He is today regarded by some as America's longest-held political prisoner. This pamphlet features several quotes by Magee along with a portrait, and argues that "His fight is our fight, slaves have the right to rebel." It requests support at his upcoming trial, to be held in San Francisco on 27 November 1972. Only one copy in OCLC, and none traced at auction.
