Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Edition. First Edition. Minor handling wear with a few areas of faint creasing and toning along edges. Rolled. Near Fine. A clean example of this iconic parody poster featuring comedian and political activist Dick Gregory as NEEDED, rather than WANTED. The poster was printed after Gregory?s failed write-in campaign for Pre…sident of the United Stated in 1968 with the Freedom and Peace Party. Gregory originally aimed to be the Peace and Freedom Party?s nominee, although they ended up selecting Eldridge Cleaver as their candidate. Undeterred, Gregory continued his campaign, part comical, part protest, even receiving more votes than Cleaver.

Softcover. Condition: Near Fine. Broadside. Measuring 17 ½" x 22½". Near fine with a few light scattered creases, but bright and not toned as often the case. A campaign broadside for comedian Dick Gregory's write-in campaign for president in 1968 that ingeniously played on the false perception of black men. Gregory ran under the… banner of the Peace and Freedom Party with running mate Mark Lane, the author of *Rush to Judgment*.
