{"value"=>"<p>This small series contains memorabilia from events in which Egbuna participated, including a record album cover for <span class=\"title\">Songs of Revolution! The Tolpuddle Martyrs</span> (ca. 1970); a theater program and poster for <span class=\"title\">Sizwe Banzi Is Dead</span> (1977); a poster for \"Organize for Africa\" (1983); and a program for the Malcolm X conference (1993). The Tolpuddle Martyrs were six farm workers in West Dorset who formed a trade union, which led to their arrest, in 1834; the album coincided with the yearly festival dedicated to the group. The image on this album cover includes a protest sign that says, \"Free Obi Egbuna\", presumably after his arrest in 1970. The program is for a University of Iowa production of <span class=\"title\">Sizwe Banzi Is Dead</span> (1977) by Athol Fugard, written collaboratively with two South African actors, John Kani and Winston Ntshona, in which Egbuna played the lead. The \"Organize for Africa\" poster, sponsored by the All-African People's Revolutionary Party, celebrates twenty-five years of African Liberation Day in 1983. Egbuna delivered the keynote introduction at the Malcolm X conference, which was held in Seattle in 1993.</p>"}
