Harmful Material Archives : GSA Archives & Collections

A meme by Archives and Collections Assistant Emilie Pichot using “Design for Blackie Books – Captured at Tripoli”, by Archibald Haswell Miller, which is among the items tagged as “Harmful Material”. In the image, a group of white soldiers in pith helmets appear to break up a disagreement between a group of men of Colour. In the meme, a speech bubble says 'You guys need to get out the way!' while one of the white soldiers, labelled 'Harmful Material' has a speech bubble saying 'Hey! What's the big deal?' and another figure, labelled 'Archives' says 'I think we need to work on ourselves.'
