He was arrested by the authorities for his freedom fighting (from 1964-1974). When released from prison, he led the militant group ZANU (Zimbabwe African National Union) in a guerilla war for black independence. Zimbabwe won its independence in 1980 and Robert Mugabe was elected the nation's first prime minister.This poster celebrates that moment of Zimbabwean independence.  It was made by the Brooklyn-based Madame Binh Graphics Collective, a group of politically minded activists who made propaganda in support of global struggles. They took their name from political figure Nguyen Thi Madame Binh, who headed the Paris peace talks for Southern Vietnam's provisional government following the Vietnam War.\r\nThis poster looks optimistically toward what was hoped to be the start of democratic rule and better living standards for black people in Southern Africa. The slogan Pamberi Ne Zimbabwe translates as \"Forward with Zimbabwe.\"","physicalDescription":"Map of southern Africa rendered predominantly in red, yellow, green and black.
