One advertisement poster for "The DRUM [Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement] Slate." The poster is printed in black ink on pale yellow paper and shows a group picture of ten African American members of the organization at the top. The pictured members are identified in a key below the image as Ron March (president), Don Jackson (vice-president), Raymond Johnson (financial secretary), Gerald Wooten (recording secretary), Carlos Williams (treasurer), Betty Griffith (trustee), Charles Roberts (trustee), Grover Douglas (Trustee), Don Gaitor (sergeant-at-arms), and Lafayette Philyaw (guide).
