NEWTON, HUEY P. Happy Birthday Huey! Printed broadside, 8-1/2 x 11 inches; some toning especially to the right side. Los Angeles, ca 1968-1969

Additional Details

This rare little broadside announces a celebration and fund-raising event that included two very hot rock 'n roll bands as well as an appearance by James Baldwin---an unlikely combo, but not really for that era. Newton was serving time for the alleged shooting of a police officer. Country Joe's Viet Nam song became a rallying cry in the anti-war movement.
