Small poster that has a large black fist silhouetted in the center.

This stylized type of clenched fist was created in 1967 by movement artist Frank Cieciorka. Similar variants followed, and it was extensively used by New Left groups such as the Students for a Democratic Society and protestors at the Harvard University strike of 1969. [LMC]
