# Remember Hue

A pale-blue poster headed "Remember Hue" shows three uncaptioned black-and-white photographs: rows of covered bodies on the ground, a child standing in a street, and a group of people crouched together. Only the Young Americans for Freedom credit appears. The title and the photographs together present the 1968 deaths at Hue as the reason to oppose the antiwar position, without giving numbers, dates, sources or the cause of death.
