Vietnam, Cambodia, Kent, Augusta and Jackson: Memorial Day march
Cut-out white lettering on black lists "Vietnam / Cambodia / Kent / Augusta & Jackson..." above the call "Bring all the GIs home from S.E. Asia now" and a march date of May 30, Memorial Day. The tell is the list itself: places are placed in one series with no explanation, so the poster presents the war and the domestic events as one cause.
