label: Description
content: A black ink on yellow full sheet film poster for the movie Right On!. The poster features the three members of The Last Poets standing above a cityscape background. From left to right is David Nelson, standing slightly bent at the waist with his hands down in front of his hips; Felipe Luciano, wearing a light-colored button down shirt and a beret and leaning back with one hand on his chest and one on his stomach; and Gylan Kain, wearing a dark-colored button down shirt and pants, standing with his proper right leg crossed in front of his left, his hands in his pockets. Across the top is written [THE ORIGINAL LAST POETS / RIGHT ON!]. In between the text and the image of the three men in printed text that looks like handwriting is [If you're ready to dig the possibilities - beautiful. If not - this movie could mess up your mind. RIGHT ON! is a motha - kuh!]. The last word is partially blocked by Kain's head. Across the bottom is billing and production information and a list of theaters where the film will be shown. Along the left side of the image is [ © 1971 CONCEPT - EAST N.Y. LTD.]. The signature of Herb Danksa appears in blue in the bottom right corner of the image and in black along the bottom right edge of image border. There are no marks or inscriptions on the back.
