Rider Joan Mulholland emailed me the exquisite document above recently:
Here’s a scan of a handbill (from Canton?) I came across in my “stuff” the other day — something I’d forgotten about over the years. I got it on the Meredith March, which I joined at Tougaloo for the last day. It had been folded to fit in the back of the little New Testament (along with a copy of my birth certificate — for identification purposes, living or dead) which I always had with me on demonstrations.
I’m thinking it must be one of the earliest “printed” (as in flyer, poster, etc.) references to Black Power.
It’s easy to see why it sure seems like the first.
