1989Best.-Nr. 225821989. Mexico Lucha Libre Lucha Libre: Arena Puebla. Puebla Mexico: January 9 1989. Printed broadside on thin newsprint paper. Measures 14" x 9.25". Bold broadside advertising a lucha libre match held at Arena Puebla on Lunes 9 de Enero de 1989 a las 9:00 p.m. The main event is billed as the "Grandiosa Reaparición de los Misioneros de la Muerte!!!" "Grandiose Reappearance of the Missionaries of Death!!!" one of the most infamous heel trios in lucha history featuring Negro Navarro Black Power and El Signo. They were matched against El Texano Dos Caras and Tamba a high-profile face team. Lucha libre first popularized in the 1930s quickly grew into one of Mexico's most enduring cultural spectacles defined by its masked heroes and villains elaborate identities and the dramatic storytelling of the ring. By the 1980s it had become a cornerstone of Mexican popular culture blending sport theater and myth in a way that resonated deeply across social classes and borders. The headlining trio on this 1989 card the Misioneros de la Muerte "Missionaries of Death" comprised Negro Navarro El Signo and Black Power. Formed in the late 1970s they were one of the most feared and influential rudo stables in lucha libre history known for their aggressive style technical skill and ability to generate massive heat with audiences. Their battles against trios like Los Brazos and Los Villanos helped define the trios match format that remains a staple of Mexican wrestling today. Revered for their role in elevating the art of the six-man tag the Misioneros are remembered as innovators who reshaped the dynamics of lucha storytelling and solidified the dominance of faction-based rivalries in the sport The undercard includes a series of celebrated names; "Los Juniors" Blue Demon Jr. Huracán Jr. and El Hijo de Black Shadow versus Kahos Lobo Rubio and Zandokan -- Valente Fernández La Mascara and El Fantasma versus Scorpio Sr. Scorpio Jr. and Barba Negra-- Kendo Star Lasser and Danny Boy versus Rizado Ruiz Ruddy Reyna and El Hijo del Diablo. Additional notes on the broadside include rules and pricing; "Todas estas luchas serán a 2 de 3 caídas sin límite de tiempo" "All these matches will be best two out of three falls no time limit" and "Las personas que arrojen objetos a los luchadores serán consignadas a las Autoridades competentes" "Anyone who throws objects at the wrestlers will be turned over to the authorities" as examples. The poster features striking black-and-white illustrations including a masked luchador with a championship belt at upper left alongside halftone portraits of individual wrestlers giving spectators a glimpse of the billed stars. Light toning and edgewear original fold creases. Overall very good condition. A scarce surviving Arena Puebla lucha libre broadside notable for headlining the Misioneros de la Muerte and featuring early appearances of Blue Demon Jr. and other "junior" heirs of Mexico's legendary masked heroes marking a generational transition in lucha libre history. unknown

1963Best.-Nr. 221701963. Civil Rights African American Slavery and Abolition A complete set of the Adventures in Negro History educational LP series created to promote Black history and culture during the Civil Rights era through dramatized narration and scholarly commentary. Adventures in Negro History: Volumes I-III. Highlight Radio Productions 1963 1966 1969. Three original 12-inch 33⅓ rpm vinyl LPs each record housed in original illustrated jacket. Commissioned by Pepsi-Cola and produced by the Chicago-based Highlight Radio Productions this project brought together historians actors and community leaders in an accessible audio-driven public history format. Each volume explores a distinct theme in African American experience with powerful graphic covers and scholarly liner notes by eminent historians John Hope Franklin and Elsie M. Lewis. 1 Volume I: Adventures in Negro History 1963. Illustrated in stark black and white the cover features a stylized portrait of a bound enslaved man visually evoking the violent conditions of enslavement and the struggle for freedom. The back cover provides capsule biographies of pivotal figures including Estevanico Crispus Attucks and W.E.B. Du Bois as well as dramatizations of "Douglass!" and "Pinchback!" The LP includes dramatized reenactments written and directed by Ossie Davis and is voiced by Ruby Dee Godfrey Cambridge Brock Peters and Roy Glenn. The liner text opens: "We cannot afford to let the story of Negro Americans-who they were how they lived what they did-go untold. This is a job that needs doing in all the classrooms of America." The tone is urgent and pedagogical designed to be played in schools libraries and community centers. 2 Volume II: The Frederick Douglass Years 1817-1895 1966.With a bold blue cover echoing the design of Volume I this LP focuses entirely on Douglass's life from enslavement to abolitionist leader. A full panel on the reverse contains the essay What the Douglass Years Mean to America by John Hope Franklin then Professor of American History at the University of Chicago. Franklin writes: "The Frederick Douglass story is the story of America in the nineteenth century. it is the story of man's struggle for justice and liberty in a society often committed more to self-interest than to high principle." The dramatizations include scenes from Douglass's escape from slavery his debates with white abolitionists and his role during Reconstruction. The same acclaimed voice cast from Volume I returns. 3 Volume III: The Afro-American's Quest for Education - A Black Odyssey 1969.This volume shifts focus to the historical struggle for Black educational access from slavery through desegregation. The cover rendered in burnt sienna and black features a graphic portrait of a bearded elder flanked by line drawings of teachers students and historic Black institutions. On the verso Dr. Elsie M. Lewis Professor of History at Howard University contributes a major essay declaring: "No phase of the American Negro's history is more crucial more dramatic or more moving than his long dogged quest for education." Her commentary frames education as both a right and revolutionary act for African Americans. Like earlier entries Volume III blends narrative scenes with documentary-style commentary. All three LPs are in very good condition with minor edge wear to sleeves. Vinyl appears clean with no visible scratches. These records were not mass-marketed and were distributed largely through educational and community networks making complete sets scarce. unknown
