Additional Details

A public speaker never knows who is in the audience, or what effect his words may have. Evan X Hyde was a Dartmouth student from the small Caribbean nation of Belize who had not previously been politically active. He returned to Belize in 1968 to spread the Black Power movement through the Caribbean, citing Carmichael as an influence. Hyde founded the United Black Association for Development and launched the newspaper Amandala, of which he remains the publisher today. See Devon Lee, "Pan-African Belize," in Africana Social Stratification, pages 64-65. No other examples of this illustrated poster traced in OCLC or at auction.
