A propos de cet article

Small poster (8 1/2" x 14"), photomechanically reproduced on white paper. Two-sided, with the text in English on one side and Spanish on the other.

The party also refused to cooperate in the investigation and organized demonstrations against both the LAPD and the City of Los Angeles, including a May Day march in Los Angeles that was forcibly dispersed by riot clad police officers. As the RCP's first and only martyr, Garcia remains an important propaganda symbol for the organization and frequently appears in the RCP newspaper, The Revolutionary Worker.…
