Original Attica Brigade poster measuring approximately 17 x 23", issued in support of the Attica prison uprising and its aftermath. Printed in bold red and black, the poster bears the slogans, "Long Live the Spirit of Attica. Support the Brothers' Demands." and "ATTICA MEANS FIGHT BACK!" The central panel features a photograph of an incarcerated man alongside a statement attributed to inmate spokesman L.D. (James Elliott) Barkley, condemning prison conditions and calling upon "all the conscientious citizens of America" to support the prisoners' demands. The lower margin is printed "-attica brigade-."

The Attica prison uprising began on September 9, 1971, at the Attica Correctional Facility in western New York, where inmates seized control of the prison to protest living conditions, racial inequality, and the denial of basic rights. After four days of negotiations, the prison was retaken by New York State authorities, resulting in the deaths of 43 people, including inmates, hostages, and correctional personnel. The uprising became a defining moment in the prison reform movement and the broader struggle for civil rights and social justice in the United States.
