Overview
This anti-Vietnam War poster was a supplement to Quote magazine (number 15), printed by the Wellington Committee on Vietnam in 1966 (Quote was issued 18 times from 1965 to 1967).
Many copies of the poster were seen at protests and demonstrations against the visit of United States President Lyndon B. Johnson on 19 October 1966, and the visit of South Vietnamese Premier Nguyen Cao Ky to New Zealand, January to February 1967.
Protesters attached the poster to placards to hold up at demonstrations.
