This poster issued by the Socialist Workers 1976 National Campaign Committee during the presidential run of Peter Camejo establishes the SWP’s antiracist agenda; the lower half of the composition features a photograph of a group of mainly Black protestors with a banner demanding school desegregation. Camejo, born in New York to Venezuelan parents, was the first Latino to run for the U.S. presidency. He secured a respectable 96,000 votes in the election but was later pushed out of the SWP for being too “middle class.” In 2002 and 2003, he was the California Green Party’s candidate for governor and in 2004 was chosen by independent Ralph Nader as his running mate.
