Eldridge Cleaver for President: Revolution Poster

Historic campaign poster for Eldridge Cleaver's 1968 presidential run on the Peace and Freedom Party ticket, featuring bold revolutionary messaging: "A RULE OF THUMB OF REVOLUTIONARY POLITICS IS THAT NO MATTER HOW OPPRESSIVE THE RULING CLASS MAY BE NO MATTER HOW IMPOSSIBLE THE TASK OF MAKING REVOLUTION MAY SEEM THE MEANS OF MAKING THAT REVOLUTION ARE ALWAYS NEAR AT HAND." The poster references his influential book "Soul on Ice" and the Black Panther newspaper "The Black Panther Intercommunal News Service," with the guerrilla warfare quote "Our purpose in entering the political arena is to send the jackass back to the farm and the elephant back to the zoo." Cleaver, the Black Panther Party's Minister of Information, ran for president while in exile, making this one of the most radical presidential campaigns in American history. A powerful piece of revolutionary political history, available in three sizes with your choice of black or silver aluminum frame.
