The back page features an illustration by Emory Douglas of a Black couple, the women wielding a military-style assault rifle and wearing a pin with the word "Seize The Time" on it, the man is in the process of throwing a hand grenade; paper is mildly age-tanned and folded as issued, with almost no other signs of the handling and wear that is the norm for these newspapers. The condition of the newspaper is NEAR FINE. This newspaper is in much better condition than one normally finds these in, and is VERY SCARCE as such. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 001225
