Death Has Many Faces - We Demand Life!

Washington, D.C.: Peoples Coalition for Peace & Justice, [1971]. Original lithographed poster, 22" x 17' (ca 56cm x 43cm). Printed in three colors on white paperstock. A few stains on verso bleeding faintly through on lighter portions of image, else a bright, Very Good copy, minimally worn -- Very Good / B. Poster promoting the 1971 "Mule Train To Wall Street," an event intended to coincide with the great Mayday Tribe march on Washington, described by some observers as the most poorly planned direct action of the Vietnam era. The action ended with the arrest of some 7,000 marchers before the event even got underway. The central graphic is of a leering death's-head, with inset images of Black and Asian adults and children in distress with title above "Death Has Many Faces We Demand Life!" Artist not identified, but a compelling and uncommon poster.
