A riot broke out at the United Nations in February of 1961. Protestors including Maya Angelou, Mae Mallory, LeRoi Jones, and many more demanded justice for the U.S. sanctioned murder of Patrice Lumumba.
This zine — written by Mariame Kaba and illustrated by Sam Modder — tells the story of this protest.
