ASSATA SHAKUR IS WELCOME HERE! Republic Of New Afrika [poster] -

[New York]: Republic of New Afrika, [1979-1984]. 11x17 inch original poster featuring a picture of Assata Shakur. Black text on cream-colored paper, pin-holes at corners, torn off at right lower corner, mild discoloration, four folds across width as if rolled and then flattened. This poster was created in response to FBI Wanted posters of Shakur that were posted after her 1979 escape from a New Jersey women's prison. Shakur's supporters hung these in their windows. Replicas of this poster were carried at a May 25, 2005 protest at New York's City Hall with the demand that a $1 million dollar bounty placed on Shakur earlier that month be revoked. Rare: OCLC finds only one copy at Northwestern and it is the 2005 replica of our original.
