This vintage original poster was issued by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference sometime shortly after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968. The poster has the “Feed The Hungry” slogan first associated with MLK’s Poor People’s Campaign of 1968 along with photos and text that reads from death to life…honor dr. king april 4-12. The SCLC logo appears in the lower right hand corner along with Ralph David Abernathy, President. Abernathy became President of the SCLC in 1968 after King was assassinated.

This is a vintage original unrestored well used poster with three of the four corners clipped. The poster has small pieces of tape on each corner and along the edges in places. It looks like the lower right hand corner was torn off and rather crudely reattached with tape. The poster has a few spots and minor stains and bit of light foxing. This is a well used unrestored poster which shows considerable wear but also gives testimony as an original artifact of the tumultuous late 1960s struggle for Civil Rights Movement in America.
