The illustration done by Mark Morris: a bouquet of wildflowers sprouting from an overturned soldier's helmet each flower's center with an image of an expressive person's face a grandmother a child three soldiers and a Vietnamese woman included in these images. The flowers petals printed in pink red and yellow. The border caption printed in red. It reads: Condemn a draft board or recruiting center as a public health hazard leafleting - street corners & shopping centers set up high school assemblies on the draft mail big things to your draft board to be included in your draft file circulate "we won't go" statements in high schools picket draft board members' homes and businesses talk-ins at draft boards & recruiting centers bar military recruiters from high schools & colleges demand draft counselors in high schools draft card turn-ins demonstrate at induction centers/recruitment centers - March 19th.

A truly striking image from the anti-war protest movement the people's countenances springing from a soldier's helmet perfectly demonstrates the human cost of war. North Carolina State University "New Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam New Mobe March on Washington Map". The committee that commissioned this poster's printing was known colloquially as the New Mobe founded in 1969. The New Mobe was one of many student groups that advocated for resisting the draft during the Vietnam War. Groups like the New Mobe shed light on the often-predatory practices of the draft and on the damage the war inflicted on American and on Vietnamese lives. This poster provides a wealth of information on the kinds of actions the New Mobe and other groups performed in order to voice their opposition to the draft and to the war. Light wear to the poster's surface four pieces of masking tape on the poster's verso these were likely applied to the verso shortly after the poster was printed.

Pair of Anti-Vietnam War Pamphlets "Viet Nam - LOVE IT or LEAVE IT!" and "Peace or Four More Years of War

1969222221969. Archive of Two Anti-Vietnam War Pamphlets Critiquing Nixon-Era Policy 1969-1972. Birmingham AL and Cambridge MA / Los Angeles CA: Birmingham Moratorium Committee and Indochina Peace Campaign. Two pamphlets totaling 8 pages. A stark and emotionally charged pair of pamphlets confronting the human and economic cost of the Vietnam War particularly under the administration of Richard Nixon and his South Vietnamese ally Nguyễn Văn Thiệu. Both documents highlight the structural violence wrought by U.S. imperialism through quotes infographics and personal testimonies. One pamphlet issued by the Birmingham Moratorium Committee presents a Marxist-inflected indictment of American capitalism's complicity in the war; the other by the Indochina Peace Campaign anchors its critique in the grief of a widow counterposing Nixon's broken promises with devastating images of Vietnamese civilians and political prisoners. 1 Birmingham Moratorium Committee. "Viet Nam - LOVE IT or LEAVE IT!" Birmingham AL: 1969. A four-page pamphlet structured around working-class economic critique. On the front page black-and-white line art depicts a U.S. military cargo loader moving a casket-shaped crate labeled with stars beneath the caption "U.S. troops continue to be withdrawn from South Vietnam." It features a collage juxtaposing the Chase Manhattan logo with the silhouette of a prone soldier in Saigon. Alongside damning pull quotes from McNamara Gen. Harkins and Nixon ".this may have been one of America's finest hours." it lists the GI toll from 1961 to 1966: "killed: 38969; wounded & maimed: 254947." The interior spread lays out the economic beneficiaries of the war-"Who Profits"-stating "only big business. corporate profits after taxes rose 91%." One cartoon labeled "The Free Enterprise System" depicts a caricatured Nixon shaking down an American taxpayer for the wealth-hoarding "Corporations and Upper Income Earners". The final page calls for a debate and mass rally on November 13-14 involving Alabama's senators and representatives and denounces the war as a tool to "pay Vietnamese women 31¢ a day to make transistors as they do now in South Korea." The overall tone centers class exploitation with a particularly Southern regional organizing base. 2 Indochina Peace Campaign. "Peace or Four More Years of War" Cambridge MA / Los Angeles CA: 1972. Four-page pamphlet likely distributed in the lead-up to the 1972 election. The cover image-captioned "NBC-TV Dec. 12 1972"-depicts a Vietnamese woman and barefoot child walking past a bombed-out village. Beneath it is a widow's testimony: "If they had gone ahead and signed the treaty as promised my husband would be alive today with me and my children." The interior is a detailed exposé of the Nixon administration's duplicity in peace negotiations asserting that "After two years of negotiations all that remained was to settle one percent of a peace settlement." The Indochina Peace Campaign asserts that the U.S. deliberately sabotaged the Nine-Point Agreement by refusing to recognize the Provisional Revolutionary Government PRG despite "warnings by Congressmen and Senators" and international outrage over the Christmas bombings. The pamphlet cites major media: "The U.S. supported regime in Saigon have ruled by suppressing all their opposition" Pentagon Papers Gravel Edition Vol. 1 p. 256 and includes documentation of 40994 political assassinations under the Phoenix Program. A chilling image of children behind bars in Chanh Hung Prison accompanies these facts. The final call to action reads: "We have this choice: either we allow our government to prolong the rule of General Thieu or we pressure it to sign the Agreement." An ideologically diverse but thematically united pair of anti-war publications: one focused on working-class Southern economic outrage the other on moral urgency and state-sponsored atrocity. Together they demonstrate the breadth of opposition to the Vietnam War and the emotional political and class-based appeals that animated grassroots resistance across the U.S. Overall very good condition. unknown

Pair of Mimeographed Documents Contrasting Johnson's 1964 and Nixon's 1969 Vietnam War Policies with Viet Cong Peace Terms

1964222171964. Counterculture Vietnam War This pair of mimeographed documents issued in 1964 and 1969 respectively capture the shifting rhetorical and political frameworks of U.S. justification and policy aims in Vietnam offering rare comparative insight into both the Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon administrations' public positions. 1 Some Questions on Vietnam. Washington: Friends Committee on National Legislation June 3 1964. 2 Mr. Nixon's Points. N.p October 14 1969. Two double-sided mimeographed typescripts measuring 8.5" x 11" each. Together they trace the continuity and contradictions in American official thinking from the earliest stages of direct military intervention to the early attempts at managed withdrawal. The 1969 document is particularly notable for its side-by-side presentation of Nixon's proposed peace terms with those of the National Liberation Front NLF the political wing of the Viet Cong. 1 The first document dated June 3 1964 and issued by the Friends Committee on National Legislation in Washington D.C. is titled Some Questions on Vietnam. Framed as a briefing tool for concerned citizens it outlines the U.S. position in the early escalation phase of the war and provides extensive excerpts from contemporary sources including President Johnson's June 2 press conference and articles from The Washington Post and New York Times. Johnson is quoted stating that the U.S. is "bound by solemn commitments to help defend this area against Communist encroachment" reaffirming the domino theory logic underpinning American involvement. The handout catalogs U.S. military strategies then being deployed including the "Strategic Hamlet Program" in which "thousands of peasants were uprooted at gunpoint and moved into defensive village-clusters far removed from ancestral lands." Other methods included the use of lie detectors on suspected Viet Cong and defoliation tactics that the Washington Post acknowledged raised "questions of the wisdom of using such agents at all in this kind of war. where the consequences are visited upon a civilian population we are trying to defend." The leaflet also raises doubt about South Vietnamese support for the war: "the Saigon government has the allegiance of probably no more than 30 per cent of the people." Statistics from the Pentagon note that by May 25 1964 1130 American servicemen had been killed wounded or listed as missing since 1961. Senator Wayne Morse is quoted: "We have already poured into that sink-hole over $5½ billion." The final sections argue that economic aid cannot be separated from military goals and propose alternatives such as United Nations mediation. Notably the sheet warns that mail to the White House on Vietnam had been averaging fewer than 150 letters per week urging citizens to "make their views known to the President and your Congressmen." 2 The second document dated October 14 1969 presents President Nixon's public negotiating stance during the early phase of his "Vietnamization" strategy. Titled Mr. Nixon's 8 Points the yellow sheet begins with a justification of U.S. sacrifices: "The United States has suffered over a million casualties in four wars in this century. We are proud of this record and we bring the same attitude in our search for a settlement in Vietnam." Nixon outlines eight specific principles most notably: "We seek no bases in Vietnam. We insist on no military ties. We are willing to agree to neutrality for South Vietnam if that is what the South Vietnamese people freely choose." He continues "We have no intention of imposing any form of government upon the people of South Vietnam nor will we be a party to such coercion." The points include phased withdrawal over twelve months the establishment of an international supervisory body elections under international supervision release of prisoners of war and mutual agreement to observe the 1954 Geneva Accords. Nixon concludes with a reaffirmation that U.S. presence would end entirely once these measures were fulfilled. The reverse of the Nixon flyer contains The NLF's 10 Points the Viet Cong's counter-position which sharply contradicts Nixon's framing. Point 2 is categorical: "The U.S. Government must withdraw from South Vietnam all U.S. troops military personnel arms and war materiel. and liquidate all U.S. military bases in South Vietnam." Point 4 emphasizes sovereignty: "The people of South Vietnam shall settle themselves their own affairs without foreign interference." Throughout the NLF stresses full political participation neutral diplomatic relations and reunification of Vietnam as "a peaceful process. without foreign interference." Notably Point 9 demands that the U.S. government "must bear full responsibility for the losses and devastations it has caused to the Vietnamese people in both zones." Juxtaposing these two documents reveals a significant divergence between U.S. public rhetoric and Vietnamese revolutionary demands. While Nixon framed U.S. intentions as altruistic and limited the NLF viewed the war as colonial in nature and demanded unconditional withdrawal. This side-by-side format would have been a powerful tool for peace activists and educators in 1969 especially as public trust in government narratives about Vietnam eroded in the wake of the Tet Offensive and ongoing domestic protest. Very good condition overall. unknown

No Business as Usual!" Original 1971 Vietnam Moratorium Day Protest Poster by the Vietnam Peace Parade Committee

1971222041971. Counterculture Social Activism This striking 1971 protest poster was issued by the Vietnam Peace Parade Committee to promote national participation in Vietnam Moratorium Day observed on Wednesday October 13th 1971. Designed in bold agitprop style the poster combines militant typography with an urgent visual motif that reflects the escalating tone of the antiwar movement in the early 1970s. New York: Vietnam Peace Parade Committee 1971. Bold white typography with circular graphic emblem at top. Below the emblem centered white text declares: "we will observe / moratorium day / wed. october 13ᵗʰ / by" followed by a large white blank space left intentionally empty for local groups or individuals to fill in their planned action or statement of protest. The poster concludes with a defiant and unequivocal call: "no business as usual! / end the war now!" At the bottom the issuing organization is credited: Vietnam Peace Parade Committee 17 East 17th Street New York N.Y. 10003. The poster is a vivid artifact of the Vietnam Moratorium movement which began in October 1969 as a coordinated nationwide effort to halt everyday activities in protest of the war. Unlike previous marches and rallies Moratorium Day called for civic refusal and general strikes encouraging walkouts from schools workplaces and public institutions. By 1971 in the wake of the Cambodian incursion and the publication of the Pentagon Papers the antiwar movement had taken on a more urgent and radical tone. This poster's slogan-"no business as usual!"-reflects that shift asserting that complicity in everyday life was untenable while the U.S. continued to bomb and occupy Southeast Asia. As a piece of protest ephemera the poster is emblematic of the era's graphic culture of resistance: minimalist yet commanding visually direct yet ideologically expansive. Light handling wear otherwise very good. unknown

1970 Anti-War "NO MORE WAR" Poster by Terry & Dennis Newell

1970190631970. Anti-WarVietnam War "NO MORE WAR". Designed and photographed by Terry and Dennis Newell 1970. Measures 35" × 16" on offset tan lithographic paper. This monochromatic anti-war poster illustrates three scenes of a man and woman in three stages of their lives. In the first photo a young girl innocently gifts a young boy flowers on a grassy field. The following image conveys the young girl and boy in their adulthood---dressed in typical 1970's attire---as the woman hands flowers to the man in great despair. As her partner leaves to fight in the war she is left on the field longing for his return. Yet in the last image she is left lying flowers atop his coffin wrapped in the American flag. The Vietnam anti-war movement from 1960-1970 was one of the most pervasive displays of opposition to the government policy in modern times as protests raged all over the country. As a result posters like these were just one of the mediums used to highlight anti-war narratives. Five inch tear on the top margin minorly affecting the title text. Signs of foxing and discoloration to due to age otherwise in very good condition. unknown
