Description
FBI poster was issued for the SLA women on charges of armed bank robbery and murder. Soltysik, Hall and Perry were killed on May 17, 1974 in a California shootout, just a month after poster's release.
On March 5, 1973, Donald DeFreeze (1943-1974), a career criminal serving a sentence, escaped prison in Vacaville, CA. DeFreeze would become the leader of the Symbionese Liberation Army, an American revolutionary group that operated in California in the mid-1970s. DeFreeze had been radicalized in 1972 at California's Soldedad Prison and embraced a loose Marxism as a code for revolution. After he escaped DeFreeze hid out in Patricia Soltysik's house, who at the time was unknown to the police; DeFreeze and Soltysik became lovers. The SLA gained national notoriety in Nov. '74, after DeFreeze ordered Patricia Soltysik and Emily Harris to murder the first black Superintendent of Schools in Oakland, CA, Marcus Foster. The SLA also famously kidnapped newspaper heiress Patty Hearst; they took her with them to rob a bank. Members Nancy Ling Perry and Camilla Hall were both deeply involved in radical agitation prior to their involvement with the SLA.
Poster in good condition- with wrinkles and staple holes at top left corner and top center, and a very small hole in bottom center. [keywords; radical politics, 1970s, activism, California]
