    Description

    A 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 image was taken from a photo of a student by the body of one of those shot at Kent State. The size is
    22 3/4 x 27 inches and it is silkscreened on a board.
    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.
    Since it must be shipped flat USPS charges are .
