    Description

    A 5 dollar bill image was transformed with the center showing National Guard troops firing on the student protesters, and students helping a wounded boy.
    "You don't count the dead when God is on your side" - Dylan
    is shown on the poster as a quote.
    The poster is a silkscreen  14 34  x 24 inches - it is unbacked and in mint condition.
    In 1970 Poster Plus was moved by the Massacre at Kent State and organized an exhibition in our Gallery of student strike posters. Submissions came from several schools around the country and afterwards we returned the posters. Students from Columbia College in Chicago had formed their own graphic collective and spent funds to produce the posters. Poster Plus offered to purchase their excess stock to help defray expenses.

    our street level gallery but are still here, on line, on our website and eBay.
