Artifact Overview
Celebrated African American graphic designer Gail Anderson created this poster. It features a quote by Marian Wright Endelman, an organizer for Martin Luther King Jr.'s Poor People's Campaign and founder of the Children's Defense Fund. Anderson thoughtfully chose Tré Seals' "Martin" typeface, which was inspired by wood type used to print the iconic protest signs of 1968's Memphis Sanitation Strike.
