Poster: Woody Guthrie Quote
$10.00
P-WGQ
Ricardo Morales Levins' beautiful hand cut lettering of a characteristically long-winded explanation by the legendary American troubadour Woody Guthrie. (Woody's son, Arlo, inherited that talkative, talkin' blues style of songwriting when he wrote his 1965 eighteen-minute long anthem, "Alice's Restaurant" forty years ago.) Here are the words on the poster. They are clearly readable on the 17" x 23" actual poster, where they are half-inch tall letters:
"I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim. Too ugly or too this or too that. Songs that ruyn you down or poke fun at you on account of your bad luck or hard traveling.
I am out to fight those songs to my very last breath of air and my very last drop of blood. I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world and that if it has hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter what color, what size you are, how you are built, I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work. And the soings that i sing are made up for the most part by all sorts of folks just about like you.
I could hire out to the other side, the big money side, and get several dollars every week just to quit singing my own kind of songs and to sing the kind that knock you down still farther and the ones that poke fun at you even more and the ones that make you think you've not got any sense at all. But I decided a long time ago that I'd starve to death before I'd sing any such songs as that. The radio waves and your movies and your jukeboxes and your songboks are already loaded down and running over with such no good songs as that anyhow." - Woody Guthrie

Freedom's child
You have been denied too long
Fill your lungs and cry rage
Step foward and take your rightful place
You're not going to grow up
Knocking at the back door
For you there will be no travelling
Third class enforced by law
With segregated schooling and sitting on the floor
The rivers of our land, mountian tops
And the shore
It's yours, you will not be denied anymore

"In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me - and by that time no one was left to speak up." Pastor Martin Niemoeller (Leeds Poster/Postcards, Leeds England). 17"x22" • Nimoller, (1892-1984) a Germn theologian and Lutheran pastor survived nine years in the Nazi concentration camps at Sachsenhausen and Dachau (1937-1945), to become a leading voice of penance and reconciliation for the German people after the war. This poem is a popular model for describing the dangers of political apathy, since it often begins with specific and targeted fear and hatred which soon escalates out if control.

P-Chavez
18" x 24" • Photo of Cesar Chavez taken in 1971 in Delano, CA by Bob Fitch at a United Farm Workers meeting. The photo was used to create the artist's rendering of Chavez on a 2002 commerative postage stamp. The federal government took out the U.F.W. Organizing Committee flag that appears in the background of the original photograph to de-politicize the image. The U.S. Postal Service has never honored union organizing on any of its hundreds of commemorative stamps over the past century.
The poster also has text along the left side in ivory ink on the red background: " 'I am convinced that the truest act of courage, the strongest act of manliness, is to sacrfice ourselves for others in a totally nonviolent struggle for justice...
Nonviolence is not inaction. It is not discussion. It is not for the timid or weak.
Nonviolence is hard work. It is the willingness to sacrifice. It is the patience to win.' – Cesar Chavez "

Inscription reads: "I am no longer afraid of mirrors where I see the sign of the Amazon, the one who shoots arrows. There was a fine line across my chest where a knife entered, but now a branch winds about the scar and travels from arm to heart. Green leaves cover the branch, grapes hang there and a bird appears. What grows in me now is vital and does not cause me harm. I think the bird is singing. I have relinquished some of the scars. I have designed my chest with care given to an illuminated manuscript. I am no longer ashamed to make love. Love is a battle I can win. I have a body of a warrior who dos not kill or wound. On the book of my body, I have permanently inscribed a tree."

Book/Poster: Lies My Teacher Told Me About Christopher Columbus
$17.00 $14.00 On Sale!
BK-LTTCC
by James Loewen (author of "Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your High School Histoiry Textbook Got Wrong" and "Lies Across Amnerica:What Our Historic Sites Get Wrong") • 9 pages • 8.5" x 11" • Includes a 22" x 34" full color poster, "The Truth About Columbus" printed on nontear material
• "Absolutely indispensable for at least the next hundred years. This book is a real discovery and a real exploration." – Ariel Dorfman, the Walter H. Page chair of Literature and Latin American Studies, Duke University
A graphic corrective to the Christopher Columbus story told in so many American classrooms. First published over 15 years ago and long out-of-print, the poster and accompanying paperback sum up the miss-tellings, and reveal the real story, of Columbus's role in the Americas by juxtaposing a range of high school textbooks currently in use today with excerpts from primary sources. It shows clearly how textbooks have "lied" by knowingly substituting crowd-pleasing myths for the grim and gruesome historical evidence.
In fact, these textbooks intentionally omitted every important detail that we do know about Columbus's fateful voyage to the Americas. With deeply engaging prose, Loewen expands on these little-discussed facts, putting them in the larger context of a discussion of "truth" and revisionist history. Concise and accessible, this is a must-have for students, teachers and enthusiasts of history alike. Teachers can use it annually during their unit on Columbus.
James Loewen is a bestselling author and regular contributor to the History Channel magazine. He's professor emeritus of sociology at the University of Vermont.
• "A perfect antidote for the nonsense about Columbus conveyed to our children for generations." – Howard Zinn, author: "A People's History of the United States"
