About the Item
This striking black-and-white poster, emblazoned with the urgent slogan “Freiheit für Angela Davis!” (“Freedom for Angela Davis!”), is a powerful relic of international protest culture from the early 1970s. Circulated primarily in West Germany, it reflects the widespread European support for Davis, the African-American scholar, communist, and civil rights activist who became a global symbol of political persecution and resistance.
Printed in a raw, expressive style, the poster features a stylized portrait of Davis rendered in horizontal halftone lines, emphasizing both her iconic afro and unwavering gaze. The distressed, stencil-like typography underscores the urgency of the movement to free her from imprisonment after her controversial arrest in the United States in 1970.
As one of the most recognized faces of the Black Power and international communist movements, Angela Davis drew support from student groups, left-wing parties, and intellectual circles across Europe. In West Germany, solidarity campaigns mobilized rallies, printed posters like this one, and raised funds, all contributing to the global pressure that ultimately helped lead to her acquittal in 1972.
Today, this poster is more than a political artifact — it's a testament to transnational solidarity, visual protest culture, and the enduring legacy of Angela Davis as a symbol of liberation, feminism, and revolutionary thought.
