[Black Panther Party] Joseph, Jamal (screenwriter)
        Liberated Territory (Original screenplay for an unproduced film)
      New York: Self published, 1989. First Draft script for an unproduced film titled "Liberated Territory," written by Jamal Joseph, who was a member of the Black Panther Party (joining when he was 15), specifically the Panther 21, a group of twenty-one members who were arrested in 1969 for the bombing and long-range rifle attack on government buildings in New York City. The trial eventually collapsed and the twenty-one members were acquitted. Notations throughout in holograph pencil (and highlighting) made by Joseph, presumably.Joseph's notable film credits include "30 Days" (2006), "Ali: An American Hero" (2000), and "Bad Blood" (Season 2, Episode 15 of "New York Undercover").Joseph was in attendance, and was a presenter, at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival, where he shot portions of his script, then called "Liberated Territory: A Rite of Passage." The story is largely autobiographical, about youth in the turmoil of the late 1960s, incorporating the assassinations of both Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy, the antiwar movement, riots, and the black power movement. The story focuses on an ex-Panther member, released from prison, who returns home to New York City to find that drugs and crime have taken over his neighborhood, where once members of the Black Panthers had cleaned up the area.In an interview with Robert Epstein of the Los Angeles Times, Joseph said that the "message is clear ... Things are worse. But in the movie an old man reminds the main character, the ex-Panther, that there is work to be done. That there isn't much time.. You have to start at some point, at some corner. Liberation will grow from that. It's the same thing in real life, too. The people in the communities have to make the changes. We have to reinvigorate the communities, reenergize them."White self wrappers, noted as First Draft on the front wrapper, dated November 4, 1989, with a credit for screenwriter Joseph. Title page integral with front wrapper. 169 leaves, with last leaf of text numbered 168. Mechanically reproduced. Very Good plus overall, now encapsulated in mylar, bound with three gold brads.

Zur Erzählung von Wilhelm Raabe. Galerie Stübler, Hannover 1989.
        Eberhard Schlotter. Die Innerste. Serie von 10 Radierungen. Sammleredition mit Aquarell »Die Innerste«, 1989.
      - Einzelstück und absolute Rarität: Flankiert von zwei Raabe-Bildnissen, dem düsteren Seher und dem erleuchteten Faun, voyeuristisch beobachtet von dem herbeizitierten Arno Schmidt, kritisch beäugt von (dem letzthin allgegenwärtigen) Maler selbst und unter dem scharfen, strengen Blick des apotheotisch heraufbeschworenen greisen Raabe, nehmen die Grafiken die Motive des Dichters auf und sammeln sie zu eigenständigen Bildvisionen von überwältigender Ausdruckskraft. Eingebettet in die Erzählung (aus dem Jahr 1876) auf 18 reinen Textseiten (recto u. verso) finden sich die begeisternden Handabzüge der Radierungen, jedes der 10 Blätter ist vom Künstler, der in diesem Spätsommer verstarb, signiert. Dieser eleganten Luxusausgabe liegt ein originales Aquarell von Eberhard Schlotter bei, welches aus einer sensationellen Grafikedition ein umwerfendes (und wertiges) Gesamtkunstwerk macht! Das letzte von seinerzeit 10 verschiedenen Ausgaben, davon jede natürlich ein Unikat und längst vergriffen. 10 Original-Radierungen, Blatt 26,3 x 56 cm, div. Druckformate auf 300g Hahnemühle Bütten, 18 Textseiten, 1 Aquarell 9,3 x 32,6 cm (Aquarell, Goldbronze, Farbstift) unter Passepartout, signiert, alles zusammen in leinenbezogener Schmuckkassette (Expl. 9/10).
