CELEBRATE PEOPLE’S HISTORY—Poster Exhibit/Book Release Party/Artist Panel
AK Press Warehouse / 674-A 23rd Street, Oakland

Initiated by Josh MacPhee in 1998, the far-reaching "Celebrate People's History" poster project uses art to expose the hidden history of feminist organizing, indigenous uprisings, civil rights leaders, union struggles, LGBT activism and much more. For the first time ever, a complete set of these posters has been released in hardback by the Feminist Press:

We are also now celebrating the release of the brand-new AK Press title SIGNS OF CHANGE: SOCIAL MOVEMENT CULTURES, 1960s to NOW (edited by Dara Greenwald and Josh MacPhee)!:
