62. While I Do Think

the language is weird, I guess I'd figure anyone truly arranging such a rally would be weird. There's all kinds of posters around Philadelphia, written by all kinds of groups, that could be described as beyond strange. Plus, this poster is kind of MOVE-like in its presentation and sentiment, so it's not totally alien to the area. Ramona Africa was known to have, and disseminate, some pretty extreme language in her day.
