US antiwar movement posters and protests, 1965–1972

Photographs of U.S. antiwar marches and protest posters, 1965 to 1972, from civilian committees. The 1969 draft lottery stays on its own page.

Illustration, not an archive object

Content note. These photographs show protests as they were recorded, including draft-card burning identified by the Library of Congress title. The card in that frame is not legible.

This page collects U.S. antiwar photographs and Vietnam War protest posters already in the archive, from 1965 to 1972. Anti-Vietnam War posters in the grid were carried or printed by civilian committees, not by the U.S. government. The movement is not the private groups that marched in support of the war. Those are named on the Vietnam War propaganda page.

The 1 December 1969 Selective Service drawing is a government record, kept on its own page. A 19 March 1970 photograph at Selective Service headquarters is a protest. The Library of Congress title identifies a draft-card burning, and the card is not legible.

Two posters often asked for by name, And babies and I want out, are not in the grid. Rights in them are claimed, so they are named and not hosted.

The grid is an explicit list of objects from this movement. It does not include National Liberation Front banners, government recruiting posters, or private groups that marched in support of the war.
