Pittsburgh: Afro-American Institute of Pittsburgh, 1968.

Stapled 11x8.5" letter paper, 11 leaves between two heavier yellow covers printed on the front. Not paginated. Near Fine with very light incidental rubbing/soil to the rear wrap. A collection of quotes and creative writing. Arranged by Dave Coleman & Farris Harris. 4 full-page photos including one portrait and 3 Pittsburgh street scenes possibly shot by Charles "Teenie" Harris, legendary photographer of Black culture in Pittsburgh. Three pages with contributions from August Wilson, Defense Minister, Afro-American Institute of Pittsburgh. Other contributors: Robert Gandy, Deirdre Hamlin, and poem "Dhabihu, February 21, 1965 (day of sacrifice)," chairman of the Centre Avenue Poets Theatre Workshop.

The 3-day event was organized by the Afro-American Institute of Pittsburgh and open only to the Black community. It concluded with an appearance by Amiri Baraka/LeRoi Jones and was among many Malcolm X Memorial programs organized across the country. Community groups urged the day to be treated as a work and school holiday, which gained more traction in Philadelphia, planting the seed for a national Civil Rights holiday. (see: The Pittsburgh Press for Wed. Feb. 21, 1968, p13)
