    Thought I had most or all my protest button's out on display however I just Re-discovered a box full, Like Christmas LOL

    Stop Communism and Fascism Support Freedom and Democracy
    Rare and Unusual 1 3/4 diameter protest button.

    This could be considered a symbol of support for the war. However, the Peace Sign and the Peace Dove are incorporated into the message, both of which are symbols of the anti-war movement. Made for the Moratorium Peace Committee (noted on the curl of the button), this button was made for and worn at the first Moratorium on October 15, 1969
    From the collection of Larry Fox the original button man,
    So the legendary story of Larry Fox goes: (as I know it Please correct me)
    He started making button's in 1962 or 1963 at Hofstra University >TO HELL WITH ROTC - HUSPU was one of his earliest button's.
    He made button's for about every major Civil Rights and Protest group from
    MFDP = Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party> One Man One Vote,
    SNCC =Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to
    SPU = Student Peace Union, Abbie Hoffman's
    SMC = Student Mobilization Committee ,
    SDS = Students for a Democratic Society,
    5th Ave.Vietnam Peace Parade Committee, Ect. Ect. and ECT.
    Button's made from 1963 to ?
