[African Americana]: [Congress of Racial Equality]:

1967 CORE National Convention June 30 - July 4, 1967 - Oakland, California. Black Power: "Blueprint for Survival" [caption title].

Oakland: 1967. Printed leaflet, 11 x 8.5 inches, with photographic portrait of Muhammad Ali. Minimal edge wear. Very good plus. Item #4897

A very rare small broadside or handbill promoting the 1967 national convention of the Congress for Racial Equality, held at the Oakland Auditorium in the summer of 1967. The motto of the convention is printed at top: "Black Power: 'Blueprint for Survival.'" A portrait of a smiling Muhammad Ali is printed at right, and the text conveys the location, time, and contact information for the convention, along with a long list of other attendees, including Dick Gregory, Rap Brown, Leroi Jones, Dr. Kenneth Clark, two African ambassadors, and "California's Black Legislators." A detailed listing of the "Workshop Sessions" are listed at right; the workshops focused on building and developing CORE chapters and other civil rights activities, with titles such as "Building Black Political Power," "Improvement of Black Self Image," "Development of Black Leadership," and "Mobilization of Black Consumer Power," among others. We could locate no line item listings for this leaflet in OCLC, though it is likely some survive in larger collections of civil rights and/or CORE material.
