An Unfolded Cuban Special Poster (measures 18" x 31" [46 x 79 cm]) (Learn More) Freedom Now for the Wilmington 10, the 1979 Cuban OSPAAAL poster with the title phrase in several languages, promoting the release of 10 United States prisoners, and featuring an image by Rolondo Cordoba of several books forming a cage with people inside. The Wilmington Ten were nine young men and a woman, who were convicted in 1971 in Wilmington, North Carolina of arson and conspiracy, and served nearly a decade in jail. The case became an international "cause celebre", in which many critics of the city's actions characterized the activists as political prisoners. OSPAAAL (The Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa and Latin America) is a Cuban political movement with the stated purpose of promoting the causes of socialism and communism in the Third World, fighting globalization, imperialism, neoliberalism and defending human rights. OSPAAAL was founded in Havana in January 1966, after the Tricontinental Conference, a meeting of leftist delegates from several nations. Many of the posters created by OSPAAAL featured multiple languages so they could be used for international audiences, and they often came in copies of OSPAAAL's Tricontinental magazine. The U.S. embargo of Cuba and the fall of the Soviet Union eventually caused considerable difficulty in poster production, and it wasn't until the 2000s that production was able to increase again. Artist: Rolondo Cordoba Condition: good to very good. The poster has a few tears around the edges and some slight discoloration on back that is not very noticeable or distracting on the front.
