Day of Solidarity with the Afro-American People

Black Power

This 1968 poster, by Cuban designer, Daysi Garcia, promotes the Black Power movement through a day of solidarity of Afro-American people. The poster was published by OSPAAAL, the Organisation in Solidarity with the People of Africa, Asia and Latin America, the main publisher of international solidarity posters in Cuba. Notably, these colorful propaganda posters were not designed to be posted on walls within Cuba, as others were. Instead, they were folded and stapled inside the magazine, Tri-Continental, where they were then distributed internationally.
