“Four Revolutionary Sisters.”
“May 1 New Haven Connecticut May Day Weekend Gathering to Show Solidarity for Panther Prisoners of War.”
Papering the New Haven area with flyers referencing the May Day protests and other efforts to free the New Haven Nine became a significant way for the Black Panthers and other activist organizations to convey the importance of their cause, provide crucial details about protest activities, and share other important political messages.
These posters made broader calls in support of freeing other incarcerated Black Panther activists, emphasizing that the cause of the May Day Rally extended far beyond the New Haven Nine.
