Vietnam Protest Easter 1965

The Student Peace Union sponsored an anti Vietnam War protest on Easter in 1965. This early anti-war protest attracted the largest anti-war protest crowd up to that date, and the crowd sang Bob Dylan's "The Times, They are a Changing." This 1 1/4 inch celluloid has a very faint mark at edge at bottom and features special use of the peace sign, which actually was created in England in 1958 but quickly was adopted by American peace advocates.
