    I always find it amazing that such historic ephemera survived at all and then found it's way to being an unimportant box lot in an auction hall where the person I acquired this from, found it. Superb grouping apparently the period accumulation of a Phillip Wong at a Chicago area University. The shining star in this group is the tattered protest flag which I will post separately. Plenty of political activist material including obviously the anti-war, anti-Vietnam material. There is also a flyer for boycotting a Chicago area food supermarket.

      HippieArchaeologist, I've simply got to take this opportunity to THANK YOU for continuing to show the artifacts and relics you've collected from a period in US history which I myself did not really live through, and thus likely don't fully understand or comprehend. Because of that, I am grateful for the knowledge and information that you also share along with your items -- whether 'popular' to remember or not, our collective history is nonetheless our history and thus deserves to be preserved, in hopes that future generations may have the chance to learn something from it. (whether they choose to avail themselves of the knowledge or not, but sadly that's a different issue...)

      Whether "anti-war" or "pro civil-rights" actions/movements of past decades -- or the student-led "MARCH FOR OUR LIVES" events held just today [24Apr 2018] to promote common-sense gun regulations in response to recent school shootings -- I think it is terribly important to continue to remember our history of such things -- especially in 'difficult times'.
