No Christmas as usual. [Vietnam protest broadsheet]

—

---

A Vietnam War protest broadsheet issued by the New Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam with a “letter” addressed to President Nixon. A Christmas wreath is draped on a tombstone in what is likely Arlington Cemetery.

The text rebuts Nixon’s reasons for continuing the war (“You say our soldiers fight and die to defend freedom. We say they are being used to protect the Saigon dictatorship which does not have the support of it owns people….” etc.)

The verso also solicits funds for the Committee. They note that they were the “Sponsor of the Washington and San Francisco peace marches November 13–15 where more than a million Americans marched for peace in Vietnam.”

One copy found in MOMA.
