    SOME HISTORY BEHIND THE EVENTS ABOUT THE POSTER
    "VIETNAM" ANTI WAR / CIVIL RIGHTS
    A rare poster from SDS, "The Students for a Democratic Society," an early part of the New Left, that sprung up parallel to the Civil Rights movement, and the more radical Black Panthers.
    'The Fight for Freedom is at Home. Strike Now. March on Washington Nov 14 and San Francisco, Nov 17" x 22" inches. Washington, D.C.: Student Mobilization Committee, (1967) scarce handwritten poster on the back of a printed one The 'National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam' was a relatively short-lived coalition of antiwar activists formed in 1967 to organize large demonstrations in opposition to the Vietnam War. The organization was informally known as "the Mobe". Mobe was formed following the Spring Mobilization Conference held in Washington D.C. May 20-21, 1967, a gathering of 700 antiwar activists called to evaluate the antiwar demonstrations, including draft-card burnings, that had taken place on April 15, 1967 in New York City and San Francisco, and to chart a future course for the antiwar movement. The conference set another antiwar action for the fall of 1967 and created an administrative committee to plan it. That committee was the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam. Mobe planned a large demonstration for Washington D.C. on October 21, 1967. This demonstration was a rally at West Potomac Park near the Lincoln Memorial
