Additional Details

Apparently produced for the Black Action Movement's 18-day student strike at the University of Michigan in March 1970. Demands included increased admissions for African-American students and the establishment of a Black Studies department, as well as increased financial aid support. A photograph taken at the university in March 1970 uses the same language.
