A RARE SURVIVAL OF A VERY FRAGILE POSTER
,
GOTTEN UP BY THE SO
-
CALLED
“
YIPPIES
”
OR
YOUTH INTERNATIONAL PARTY
,
nominally headed by Jerry Rubin and Abby Hoffman. This con-
cert evening was a rather strange mixture of Panthers represented by Eldridge Cleaver and Yippies,
represented by Jerry Rubin; plus artists like Elektra recording artist Phil Ochs, Floating Lotus and the
Magic Opera Company and others. The reverse side has a Panther declaration re “Year of the Pig,”
and a Yippie declaration which is more or less anarchical—the 1960’s, say no more.

(BLACK PANTHERS.) BRO. STRAWTHER.
Black By Birth Militant By
Choice, Free By Revolution * Bro Strawther. I’m Proud I’m Black.
Two berets,
with embroidered sentiments on the inside: One appears to have been done by hand, the
other, probably sold by the Panther Party—the first, an even, deep purple, the other black,
some obvious wear, but both are whole, no tears, clean with black leather trim.
Np, circa 1968-1973
[600/900]
While a great deal of material related to the Black Panther Party movement in the U.S.A. exists
(posters, newspapers and so forth) very little material culture has been seen on the open market, quite
likely because of its personal nature. These two berets are a perfect example.
