Ericka Huggins / Investigate Youth Detention Centers. N.p.: n.p., ca 1976. 10 1/2 x 7 5/8 in. placard (central vertical crease, other lesser creasing, toning). References Ericka Huggins's call for public scrutiny of Alameda County's Juvenile Hall facility. She demanded that the Grand Jury and others initiate an investigation of abuses within the county's six youth detention centers at a press conference in San Leandro, CA. -- A Vote for Peggy Terry is a Vote for Eldridge Cleaver: "All Power to the People." Los Angeles, CA?: Peace and Freedom Party?, ca 1968. 8 1/2 x 11 in. printed flyer (toning to edges, minor loss to right edge). Features halftone images of Eldridge Cleaver and Peggy Terry along with explanations of key aspects of the Peace and Freedom Party's platform. A graphic near the bottom of the flyer shows an example portion of a ballot in which an "X" is marked for the Peace and Freedom Party ticket with "No Eligible Candidate Certified" for President and "Peggy Terry" listed for Vice President. Eldridge Cleaver was barred from the ballot in 1968, so this flyer explained that the best way to support his ideals and views was to still vote for the Peace and Freedom Party ticket (even though his name would not appear) rather than writing in his name separately. -- We Must Develop a United Front Against Fascism.
