Additional Details

"Make Black Count" was a popular phrase to encourage census participation in 1970; this poster was likely issued for a primary election not long after. It was issued by Advocate Press, most likely the New Haven activist press of that name which printed civil rights-related material from at least 1969 onward. No others traced at auction or in OCLC.
