SNCC “Is He Protecting You?” Civil Rights Poster
1960s — 14 x 22 inches
 
An important visual document of the Civil Rights Movement, produced for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and featuring a photograph by Danny Lyon. The image of a Mississippi Highway Patrol officer is paired with the stark caption “Is He Protecting You?”—a pointed commentary on law enforcement and civil rights in the American South.
 
Printed by the Lincoln Lithograph Company, this poster forms part of a small series that has come to represent the visual language of the movement.
 
Condition: Excellent, with minor creasing and light verso foxing.
