Item Description
8.5x14" on thin paper w/"The McHeee Printing Service" at bottom right. Text advertises the historic civil rights demonstration on "Wednesday, August 28, 1963" that became an iconic American event w/over 250,000 demonstrators who were privileged to witness Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech and experience performances by Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Mahalia Jackson, Len Chandler, Peter Paul & Marry, Marian Anderson and Odetta among others. Dylan and Baez joined forces for "When The Ship Comes In" and the pair was joined by Len Chandler for a rousing rendition of "Keep Your Eyes On The Prize". Two pin holes at top center, one in the field at bottom center and one each at bottom right and left corners. Horizontal fold at center. Scattered light red spots of staining and overall moderate age toning. VG. Handbills and flyers like these were produced by small groups around the country and this one features "Jeanetta H. Clark Connecticut NAACP Coordinator" and "Rev. Richard Battles Church Coordinator" at bottom left and right. Rev. Battles was an accomplished activist working to support the SCLC in Hartford, Conn. from the pulpit at Mt. Olive Baptist Church. His efforts led to a close working relationship w/Dr. King so much so that he was invited to be part of the SCLC delegation that accompanied Dr. King on his trip to Oslo, Norway to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. This rare flyer was assuredly posted on a bulletin board at his Hartford church in the months before the historic demonstration. An outstanding crossover piece connecting key figures of civil rights movement w/many of the eras most legendary musicians. This is the first example of this variety we have encountered in our 50 years and is most likely the only example extant.
