    Very dramatic poster in support of the Kent State student strikes against the Cambodian invasion.  A woman is reaching out to the viewer with her head in bandages and says: "Can't you hear me? We are striking. The killing must stop."
    The poster is a silkscreen on board and measures 22-3/4 x 27 inches.
