Description:
On May 5, 1971 students held a national moratorium to remember the deaths of protestors at Kent State University, Jackson State University, and in Augusta the previous spring. In the years that followed, Kent State remained a national touchstone for repressive violence, while Black rebellions in Augusta, Jackson, and elsewhere receded from national memory.
A black and red poster with a fist in the middle honors those killed during the Augusta Riot and calls for the end to the Vietnam War.
