two framed posters mounted on a white wall
Momenttwo framed posters mounted on a white wall. The top poster features a quote attributed to Harriet Tubman: "I had reasoned this out in my mind; there was one of two things - I HAD A RIGHT TO; LIBERTY, OR DEATH; if I could not have one, I would have the other; for no man should TAKE ME ALIVE." Below the quote is the phrase "-Harriet Tubman" and the logo of "THE AFRICAN AMERICANS" program, "MANY RIVERS TO CROSS." Additionally, there's a reproduction of a historical advertisement seeking the return of three runaway enslaved persons, offering a reward for their capture. The bottom poster is titled "NOTICE!" and is addressed "TO ALL WHITE CITIZENS GREETINGS:". The poster urges white people to "STOP Buying FORD CARS and TRUCKS and other Ford Products," asserting that Ford profits have been funneled into tax-free foundations to fund integration and civil rights organizations, thereby forcing white people to associate with Black people. The poster ends with the line "DON'T BUY A FORD EVER AGAIN". The posters bear alphanumeric codes "PBS.ORG/MANYRIVERS" and "LA/21/MTAC/066/4/0100." There is no visual evidence to indicate the location being Badagry, Nigeria.
