1971. 22 3/16" X 17". Washington DC: Students & Youth for a People's Peace. VERY GOOD.

The text next to the image of Sitting Bull reads: "If our people fight one tribe at a time, all will be killed. They can cut off our fingers one by one, but if we join together we will make a powerful fist. Come to Washington, D.C. May 1-7."

The May Day protests were planned by a group that called themselves the MayDay Tribe, a part of the Students & Youth for a People's Peace, an important group in the Counterculture Movement of the 1960's. The protests were intended to shut down the government from functioning, by blocking major D.C. roadways and thereby preventing government employees from coming into work. Thanks to the implemention of pseudo-martial law, military and police force members arrested 12,000 of the protestors, the largest mass arrest in American history. Historians cite this protest as not only the last major protest against the Vietnam war, but as highly influential in bringing the Vietnam war to a close. Some of the student group's ideas were incorporated into the Paris Peace Accords.
