    This STICKER (back is blank) was issued by the
    STUDENT MOBILIZATION COMMITTEE
    in advance of the coast to coast protest marches against the war in Viet Nam held simultaneously in
    Los Angeles and New York
    on April 22, 1972.
    This sticker is
    unique to the Los Angeles march
    , and was printed in limited numbers by the L.A. branch of the SMC. The sticker has nice graphics with a B-52 bomber dropping bombs and reads:
    demonstrate to end the war los angeles
    april 22
    .  The lower left hand quarter is the name and address of the Los Angeles SMC office and the appeal:
    VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
    .
    This orange sticker is far less common
    than the black and white april 22 demonstrate in Los Angeles sticker. Far fewer of this orange sticker were produced and were limited to Los Angeles.
    This underground pinback button pin or badge relates to the Hippie (or Hippy) Counterculture Movement of the psychedelic Sixties (1960's) and Seventies (1970's).  That movement included such themes and topics as peace, protest, civil rights, radical, socialist, communist, anarchist, union labor strikes, drugs, marijuana, pot, weed, lsd, acid, sds, iww, anti draft, anti war, anti rotc, welfare rights, poverty, equal rights, integration, gay, women's rights, black panthers, black power, left wing, liberal, etc.  progressive political movement and is guaranteed to be genuine as described.
    The strategy and methods that the Deacons employed attracted the attention and concern of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which authorized an investigation into the group’s activities. The investigation stalled, however, when more influential black power organizations such as US and the
    Black Panther Party
    emerged after the
    1965 Watts Riot
    .  With public attention, and the attention of the FBI focused elsewhere, the Deacons lost most of their notoriety and slowly declined in influence.  By 1968 they were all but extinct.  In 2003 the activities of the Deacons was the subject of a 2003, “Deacons for Defense.” - See more at: /aah/deacons-defense-and-justice#sthash.s6D3h3ZZ.dpuf
    On July 10, 1964, a group of African American men in Jonesboro,
    Louisiana
    led by Earnest “Chilly Willy” Thomas and Frederick Douglas Kirkpatrick founded the group known as The Deacons for Defense and Justice to protect members of the
    Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)
    against Ku Klux Klan violence.  Most of the “Deacons” were veterans of
    World War II
    and the
    Korean War
    . The Jonesboro chapter organized its first affiliate chapter in nearby Bogalusa, Louisiana led by Charles Sims, A.Z. Young and Robert Hicks. Eventually they organized a third chapter in Louisiana. The Deacons tense confrontation with the Klan in Bogalusa was crucial in forcing the federal government to intervene on behalf of the local African American community.  The national attention they garnered also persuaded state and national officials to initiate efforts to neutralize the Klan in that area of the Deep South.
    The Deacons emerged as one of the first visible self-defense forces in the South and as such represented a new face of the
    civil rights
    movement.  Traditional civil rights organizations remained silent on them or repudiated their activities.  They were effective however in providing protection for local African Americans who sought to register to vote and for white and black civil rights workers in the area.  The Deacons, for example, provided security for the 1966 March Against Fear from Memphis to Jackson,
    Mississippi
    .  Moreover their presence in Southeastern Louisiana meant that the Klan would no longer be able to intimidate and terrorize local African Americans without challenge.
