The Street Wall Journal: Set of 3 Posters (1970)
A set of three posters/broadsides issued by the Committee to Defend the Panther 21 and sold on the campus of Columbia University to raise funds for their legal defense. Volume 1, nos. 1-3.

There is also at least one other "Street Wall Journal" published by the Committee to Defend the Panthers, printed on newsprint, stating "Vol. 1, first of 9" although it does not appear nine issues were ever released. Item #1737.
