San Francisco: [ca. 1970]. [4]pp., on a single folded sheet. Some sunning around the edges. Very good condition. Item #13024

An uncommon, and perhaps unrecorded, printing of Mao's statement on African American civil rights, promulgated within a larger leaflet from the Bay Area Revolutionary Union. The first page prints the title and an introductory passage about the statement, including four questions to guide the reader. The middle two pages print Mao's April 16, 1968 statement over a background portrait of him in red ink. The last page is a message from the Union focused on the present state of the relationship between the fascist "monopoly capitalists" and their police ("the paid servants of the Rockefellers, the Duponts, and the Fords") on one side and Black people, the Black Panther Party, and the American working class on the other, calling for a movement "against the bosses' entire system."
