THE FIRST SURGEON GENERAL REPORT ON THE DANGERS OF SMOKING AND THE LINK BETWEEN CIGARETTES AND CANCER!<br /> <br /> The 1964 Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health reviewed researched and subsequently established the link between smoking and lung cancer and heart disease. The importance of this document on public health in America in almost beyond compare in the 20th Century. In his introduction Surgeon General Terry addresses the "difficult" task of writing this report and his praise for those working on it for "professional skill and dedication of the highest order." While the dangers of smoking had begun to seep into mainstream articles and conversation prior to 1964 this report is the first Government "attack" on tobacco. As such this report led to the avalanche of measures taken over the last fifty years to represent the dangers of smoking as openly and honestly as we can to those who choose to smoke and/or smoke around others. <br /> <br /> Original perfect bound wraps. Light wear and some sunning to spine. Wear to edges. Overall a nice copy from a non-smoking environment. Government Printing Office unknown

The work begins with a summary of the activities of the SCLC over the past year including the work of 104 people in 180 counties in ten southern states.

This is followed by a "Recapitulation of SCLC's Southern Program by State and finally an "overall recap of the Southern Program" presented as a total of each activity quoted above.

19683397San Francisco 1968. Very good. Broadsheet on blue paper 13.5 x 8.5 inches. Slight discoloration along top and bottom edges minor edge wear a few soft creases old horizontal folds. An exceedingly rare broadsheet advertising a multi-faceted public march and rally against the Vietnam War and "racism poverty and repression" which took place in San Francisco California about three weeks after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The organizers of the event the April 27 Mobilization Committee framed the day's activities around Dr. King's opposition to the Vietnam War; the broadside calls for the protesters to "pay tribute to the memory" of Dr. King his portrait is printed at the top of the front side of the broadsheet and the entirety of the verso prints excerpts of an April 4 1967 speech by Dr. King railing against the Vietnam War. Particularly interesting is the eclectic list of speakers who participated in the day's events on April 27 1968 which included Muhammad Ali Vanessa Redgrave Jeanette Rankin Bobby Seale Arnold True and Sidney Roger. Ali was in the midst of his appeal after his conviction for draft evasion the previous year and was a natural candidate to speak against the injustices of the Vietnam War. Bobby Seale co-founder of the Black Panthers was four months away from participating in protests at the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention after which he was arrested and tried as part of the sham Chicago Eight fiasco.<br /> <br /> The diversity of the speakers echoes the quantity of different issues represented by the current broadsheet: Civil Rights the Vietnam War the recent assassination of Dr. King Muhammad Ali's legal fight against the war Bobby Seale's controversial role with the Bay Area Black Panthers women's rights and the role of the American military. We could locate no other copies of this broadsheet in auction history or OCLC. unknown
