No Rights For Racists Stop Shockley Now! Attica Brigade Flyer
No Place: Attica Brigade, Publisher. Unbound. Good. Item #021793
No place or date, presumed New York circa 1973. Single sheet, yellow paper stock, 8 ½ by 11 inches. Printed on both sides. A flyer announcing a protest to be held at the Loeb at NYU on April 9, demonstrating against William Shockley. William Shockley was a scientist who won the Nobel Prize for his work on transistors. By the 1970s he was outwardly endorsing racist and eugenicist views, endorsing the sterilization of those with IQs under 100, as well as the inferiority of races other than white. He began touring the US promoting these views at lectures. This flyer denounces Shockley and calls out his lies, and even addresses questions of free speech. The Attica Brigade was a left-wing organization that grew out of the demise of the SDS, with its name inspired by the prison uprising in Attica in 1971. The organization focused on anti-imperialism. In 1974 it changed its name to the Revolutionary Student Brigade. GOOD condition. Minor fading. Some reproduced smudges of ink along the margins.
