Dead Wrong: International Posters Against the Death Penalty

The posters in Dead Wrong illustrate numerous death-penalty related issues, including the impact of racism, poverty, and political beliefs on sentencing. Many of these posters were produced while the prisoners were on trial or in jail, and thus convey the urgency of the issue. Some are commemoratives, marking the deaths of prisoners later deemed innocent or those whose guilt is still debated, including the Haymarket Martyrs, Sacco and Vanzetti, and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Some are the focus of international campaigns, such as Mumia Abu Jamal, while others are unknown to most.
