Additional Details

The all-text side of this flier reads "Hell No! to the draft and the war in Vietnam," and offers statistics on black casualties in the war. It cites Muhammad Ali as a role model for draft resistance. Credit for the flier is given to the "Anti-Draft Coalition," the "Progressive Labor Party," and the "Black Anti-Draft Union." The other side is a photocopy of a well-circulated image of Uncle Sam, reading "Uncle Sam wants you, nigger. Become a member of the world's highest paid black mercenary army! Support White Power---travel to Viet Nam, you might get a medal! . . . . Die Nigger Die--you can't die fast enough in the ghettos."
