Love Letter #1 was created in response to the arrest of political activist and Black Panther affiliate Angela Davis. The National United Committee to Free Angela Davis and All Political Prisoners asked White to feature images from his Love Letter series on postcards sent to politicians asking for the release of the political prisoners.
