Additional Details

This poster features a painting by the African-American artist Jon Onye Lockard (1932-2105), subverting the Aunt Jemima stereotype into an image of resistance. She is no longer smiling, her fist is raised in the Black Power salute, and the box warns "Open at your own risk!" The original painting is noted as "coming from the collection of attorney Gerald David White." No other examples traced in OCLC or at auction.
