1980 Editor Pamphlet Protest Bigot
EDITORS COMMENTS
This provocative illustration, titled "Bigot!", graced the cover of a self-published protest pamphlet in the late 1970s or early 1980s. The image, which depicts an angry crowd of people, a policeman, and a soldier, was a powerful statement against discrimination and intolerance during a time of social unrest. The protestors, their faces contorted with rage and frustration, hold up signs with slogans that read "Equal Rights for All" and "No to Discrimination." Their fists are raised in defiance, their voices united in a call for change. In the foreground, a policeman stands rigidly, his expression stern and unyielding, as if daring the crowd to challenge his authority. Behind him, a soldier, clad in full military regalia, watches with a look of unease. At the center of the chaos stands a judge, his gavel raised high, symbolizing the law and the power it holds over the lives of individuals. His expression is one of disdain and contempt, as if to say that the laws of the land favor the privileged few over the marginalized many. The illustration, which is believed to have been self-published by "The Editor," was a rallying cry for those who felt marginalized and oppressed by society. It spoke to the anger and frustration that simmered beneath the surface during a time of social and political upheaval, and served as a reminder that change could only come through collective action and determination.
