Vietnam Veterans Against the War/Winter Soldier Organization  Collection
Description: This bright yellow poster with red lettering advertises amnesty demonstrations on May 16-18 on the OSU Columbus campus, in downtown Columbus, and in Cincinnati. The demonstrations were to be held in support of the aims of Vietnam Veterans Against the War/Winter Soldier Organization (VVAW/WSO), especially universal unconditional amnesty for all war protestors and resistors (including those in the armed forces), withdrawal of US troops and aid from South Vietnam, and single-type discharges for all veterans. Additional demands included better benefits for veterans and the removal of President Richard Nixon from office. A national demonstration was to be held in Washington, D.C., in July.
