Aggiungi al carrelloPictorial broadside, 43cm x 28cm (17" x 11"). Printed in black on mustard stock. Pencil signed, lower right, dated 1969. Edition size unknown; facetious limitation statement in pencil, indicating an edition of "10,899." Titled in pencil lower left. Small abrasion to lower left margin, well away from printed area; Near Fine. A sa…tirical "open letter," in the voice of "John Doe Cow," addressed to "Dear Governor, Legislators, American Legion, Packer Backers, and you, Dorothy." The letter addresses the 1969 campus unrest at the University of Wisconsin, which began over the University's failure to establish a Department of Black Studies. Weege particularly targets Republican Governor Warren P. Knowles, writing ".the "unrest" on our campus is definitely linked to a nationwide 'conspiracy' - you just keep beating those bushes, Guv. We can't be too careful. The 'conspiracy' is the natural reaction of oppressed people to the constraints of a conspiring war-mongering political and military establishment." OCLC notes 2 locations (Aubur, UC Davis); both attribute the text (incorrectly, we think) to D.A. Levy. Signed.
