Légende
A white poster with black lettering used by Arthur J. Schmidt during the 1968 Memphis March. 'I Am a Man' is a declaration of civil rights, often used as a personal statement and as a declaration of independence against oppression. In the United States and South Africa, the term 'boy' was used as a pejorative racist insult towards men of colour and slaves, indicating their subservient social status of being less than men. The response: 'Am I not a man and a brother?' became a catchphrase used by British and American abolitionists. A small Allied Printing Trades Council label is stamped on the bottom of the front of the poster at center in black ink. The back of the poster is blank.
