Hot Town Poster

Season 8 Episode 8

What role did this striking poster play in the explosive events of 1960s America?

The words and images on this poster draw battle lines. We see a photo of what looks like a stern police officer, a clenched fist, and the wording: "Hot Town - Pigs in the Streets... But the streets belong to the people! Dig it?" Who made this poster and why? Tukufu Zuberi brings all the pieces together.
