JOHN LENNON, YOKO ONO, AND MICHAEL X - Lot 151
JOHN LENNON, YOKO ONO, AND MICHAEL X Haircut and Black Power… 1970. Photograph, silver gelatin print on vintage card stock, with labels (one of which is captioned and dated) and annotated on the back. 20.2 x 25.5 cm. Note: This photograph, taken in 1970, features John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Michael X, a controversial figure in British Black activism. The image captures a period when Lennon and Ono were actively engaged in the political, social, and anti-racist debates that marked the late 1960s and early 1970s. The term *Haircut and Black Power* refers to a widely publicized episode in which the couple auctioned off a lock of Lennon’s hair to support Michael X’s activities. Beyond its musical significance, this photograph illustrates John Lennon’s growing involvement in the protest movements and social causes of his time. It stands as an iconic testament to the convergence of popular culture, political activism, and counterculture at the turn of the 1970s.
