This poster is designed using the Martin typeface from Vocal Type, a non-violent typeface inspired by posters from the Memphis Sanitation Strike of 1968. Martin Luther King Jr. joined the cause, speaking to a crowd of 6,000 in late March and returning on April 3rd to deliver one of his most famous speeches, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop.” King placed the strike in a larger context, declaring, “The masses of people are rising up."
