McCoy later said, Bud and Richie Powell moved into my neighborhood. He also befriended saxophonist John Coltrane, then a member of trumpeter Miles Davis' band. A flow of adventurous, eclectic albums followed throughout the decade, many featuring his quartet with saxophonist Azar Lawrence, including 's Song for My Lady, 's Enlightenment, and 's Atlantis.

As a resident of Philadelphia, she collected a variety of documents from mostly local organizations, including flyers; pamphlets; and newspapers expressing the sentiments, attitudes, philosophies, strategies, and tactics of these various movements and participating groups and organizations. Although there is little information on McDaniel’s life story or her participation in the activities of the civil rights and black power movements, her collection documents the socio-cultural and political dynamics of the African American and multiracial struggles throughout the country. This collection is rich in documenting the on-the-ground activities of the organizing that took place primarily in Philadelphia, as well as other parts of the United States and Africa. Background note The 1940s post-war period in African American communities saw an increase in concerns for workers’ rights, which linked African American national and local politics with the political agenda of the Communist Party.

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).
