Posters and the Art of Student Protest in the Vietnam Era | The Look Back

What can protest posters tell us about the history of activism in Wisconsin during the 1960s?

The 1960s were a time of major protests across the United States. Many people were unhappy with racial discrimination, unfair job practices, and the Vietnam War. They used protests as a way to make their voices heard. The University of Wisconsin-Madison was the site of key protest movements, and the posters and flyers associated with this time offer a window into the past.
