Sight size 14.5 x 22.5 inches 37 x 57 cm archivally matted and framed to an overall size of 20.5 x 26.5 inches.<br style="">In March 1966 King and Belafonte went to Europe for fundraising appearances on behalf of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference starting with the Palais des Sports in Paris on the 28th and closing in Sweden on the 31st. This poster for the French appearance is emblazoned with the logo of a sponsor Suze Liqueur and also cites the French-American Committee for Racial Integration as the organizing body. The opening act for the evening was the popular French folksinger Hugues Aufray doing a set of Bob Dylan covers followed by a set by Belafonte. Dr. King closed out the evening with a speech on civil rights touching on the war in Vietnam and American support for South African apartheid. The tour raised more than $100000 but drew the wrath of the American ambassador to France for airing American problems overseas. See Ross Hollywood Left and Right p. 220.

Dust jacket with some minor soiling one small tear to top edge of rear cover. Japanese translation of Martin Luther King Jr.'s final book containing the important chapter on "Black Power." King's book is about non-violence in the face of growing black nationalism and militancy in the mid-1960s. "In his last book Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community 1967 King dismissed the claim of Black Power advocates 'to be the most revolutionary wing of the social revolution taking place in the United States' but he acknowledged that they responded to a psychological need among African Americans he had not previously addressed. 'Psychological freedom a firm sense of self-esteem is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery' King wrote. 'The Negro will only be truly free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being and signs with the pen and ink of assertive selfhood his own emancipation proclamation'" -- ANB.
