Bottom edge right has a small Allied Printing union label with: "52".

Poster is printed on white paper with text and images in black. The top edge of the poster has the text: "Free Angela Davis / And All Political Prisoners". The center of the poster has a large photograph of Angela Davis. The bottom of the poster has the text: "The struggle against racism, against all the evils engendered by U.S. capitalism, must be carried forth wherever we find ourselves. My role, / [in prison] is to assist in the creation of another front of struggle. / Numbers are important to any successful defense campaign. The demand to free all political prisoners must burst out of a movement en- / compassing the broad masses of people. Although quantity is of paramount importance, alone it is insufficient. The political content of a de- / fense movement must be crystal clear at all times. In this context, I would insist that the rallying cry of the campaign not be limited to 'Free / Angela Davis.' Everyone participating must realize that I cannot be truly free as long as there exists another political prisoner. And in turn, / political prisoners will not know freedom until the last starving black child in Mississippi is assured nourishment, clothing and shelter. / Angela Y. Davis / Women's House of Detention / New York, 1970". The bottom edge has contact information for the Bay Area Committee To Free Angela Davis and Angela Davis Defense Fund.
