Following the uprising and subsequent lethal crackdown by authorities that took place at the Attica Correctional Facility in Attica, New York, from September 9–13, 1971, “Attica Brothers” quickly became shorthand for the multiracial coalition of incarcerated men who had led the prison uprising and who had paid a physical and legal price for their transgressions.“Support the Attica Brothers” was a phrase—almost a mantra— that appeared repeatedly in publications and on a range of commemorative objects in the aftermath of the attack. It served to reaffirm the unity and camaraderie of the prisoners who had briefly taken control of the prison yard and the sympathetic solidarity of many outside observers. Among the Brothers’ 28 Demands were those calling for the end of the racial segregation of prisoners, the right of prison workers to unionize, and for the prosecution of guards who resorted to cruel and unusual punishment. The central image in this poster is a photograph, taken during the negotiations, of Elliott James “L.D.” Barkley, a 21-year-old leader in the uprising chosen by fellow inmates to represent the interests of those in A-block. A talented orator, he spoke to the press on the evening of September 9—part of that speech is reproduced here below his image. He was among those who were killed during the subsequent raid.
