    DECEMBER 19, 1975 25 CENTS VOLUME 39/NUMBER 47 A SOCIALIST NEWSWEEKLY/PUBLISHED IN THE INTERESTS OF THE WORKING PEOPLE [The following statement was re­ leased December 10 by Peter Camejo and Willie Mae Reid, Socialist Workers party candidates for president and vice­ president.] Early this morning racist opponents of desegregation fire bombed the office of the~ NAACP in Boston. The home of a Black minister was also fire bombed. The terrorists struck in retaliation against yesterday's decision by a federal judge to take South Boston High School out of the hands of the Boston School Committee, which has done everything in its power to block court-ordered desegregation. [See news story on page 4.] The night-riding terror squads of the antibusing movement have thus served notice once again that they will resort to any means-including murderous violence-to deny Black students the right to attend desegregated schools in Boston.

The strong messaging and visual appeal speak for themselves. [email protected] marebooksellers.com Mare Booksellers [1] Justice. Tyrone Guyton had a Right to Live. No printer, place or date. Presumed circa 1974. Approximately 1 ¾ inches in diameter. Locking style back. Yellow background with black lettering. A pinback bringing attention to the police killing of 14 year old Tyrone Guyton. Guyton was a Black teenager involved in a high speed chase after allegedly stealing a vehicle. While fleeing the scene, three Emeryville, California police detectives shot Guyton in the back. While they asserted he fired on them, an ATF investigation found no evidence supporting that claim. A grand jury refused to indict the officers involved, leading Tyrone’s mother, Mattie Guyton Shepard, with support from the Black Panther Party and local Black community activists, to organize in an effort to find the truth. As she stated in part “[her] goal[…] is not really justice for Tyrone Guyton, because that is impossible, but rather justice for all the future Tyrone Guytons of all races who should be able to live without the fear of being gunned down by the police.” (See article in the E’ville Eye archive online at evilleeye.com for previous information and quote).
