L’Angola Vaincra!
c. 1960–1970

This is a political poster with a bold design featuring a mix of French text and imagery. The top section has a pink silhouette of Africa with a superimposed face, next to text about an international day of solidarity with the people and students of Angola. Below, a large black section with white text reads "L'ANGOLA VAINCRA!" which translates to "Angola will win!" The bottom section shows a green-tinted photograph of armed soldiers in combat, with French text stating that brutality, violence, and sadism will not stop their fight. The poster is credited to the International Union of Students.
