| Part of a poster series celebrating President Salvador Allende after his death. Allende was elected president of Chile in 1970, and promoted the nationalization of Chilean industries and collectivization. The Chilean military attempted a coup d'etat to remove Allende on September 11, 1973, and Allende was killed later that day. Poster has white text and a newsprint-style image on a blue and red background. The image is a building with smoke around it, possibly La Moneda, the Presidential Palace, during the 1973 coup. The text under the image reads: "Workers of my homeland: I have faith in Chile and its future. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason is trying to be uppermost. You must continue to know that, sooner rather than later, grand avenues will be opened where free men will go to build a better society." "Long live Chile; long live the people; long live the workers!" "These are my last words, certain that the sacrifice will not be in vain. I am sure that there will be at least a moral sanction that will punish the felony, cowardice and treason." Salvador Allende September 11, 1973 |
