Item description from seller

19.75" x 15.5". Poster. Color lithograph. Army green font and a multi-colored illustration with a caption spanning the poster's border. 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. With a black caption blocked in yellow: Who pays for war? You do. / Who profits from war? They do. / A teach-in where you work, April 14th / Tell off your tax collector, April 15th / Confront the corporations, April 20th-30th. An address for the New Mobilization Committee is printed under the red border: 1029 Vermont Avenue Northeast, Washington, D.C. 20005. 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).
