I Am A Man #1422

 Caption from poster__     I AM  A MAN     " I Am A Man " Poster In March 1968, after the accidental deaths of two local African-American sanitation workers, the black community in Memphis, Tennessee prepared a major strike to fight for their right to unionize.  Placards bearing the words "I Am A Man" in bold red letters were printed for the sanitation workers strike, which was held on April 3rd.  It was there, before the 1,300 workers gathered at the Mason Temple in Memphis, that Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.  delivered his famous "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech. The  following day, the civil rights icon was assassinated. Dr. King's  riveting final speech and the memory of the posters bearing the  words "I Am A Man" continue to inspire civil rights activists.    Now available 11" x 17" Print with Black Frames $25.00 For 24" x 36' Size prints please call 678-608-7892 to order
