This publication, The World, represents the official voice and ideological "mouthpiece" of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) during one of the most volatile periods of the Cold War.

Page 9 has a heading that reads: Black militant rushed to Ohio death house" with subhead and photo of Fred Evans. (see images)
This publication was largely distributed by hand at political rallies and anti-war demonstrations rather than sold at mainstream newsstands. Consequently, most copies were treated as ephemeral flyers and discarded, while the remaining pool of survivors was severely limited because the political stigma of the late Cold War deterred ordinary citizens from intentionally archiving communist literature in their homes.
Complete with 12 pages, very nice condition.

Background: On May 12–13, 1969, Black nationalist leader Fred "Ahmed" Evans was convicted of first-degree murder by an all-white jury and sentenced to death by electric chair for his role in the 1968 Glenville Shootout—a pivotal, violent clash between Black militants and Cleveland police that left seven people dead. The legal significance of Evans' conviction rested on Ohio's conspiracy laws, which held him criminally responsible as the ideological leader despite a lack of direct evidence that he fired any fatal shots himself. His death sentence was ultimately commuted to life imprisonment following the landmark 1972 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Furman v. Georgia, which temporarily struck down state capital punishment statutes across the nation, making his case a major flashpoint in late-1960s Civil Rights history, Black Power activism, and American constitutional law.
