North Carolina State University "New Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam New Mobe March on Washington Map". The committee that commissioned this poster's printing was known colloquially as the New Mobe founded in 1969. The New Mobe was one of many student groups that advocated for resisting the draft during the Vietnam War. Groups like the New Mobe shed light on the often-predatory practices of the draft and on the damage the war inflicted on American and on Vietnamese lives. This poster provides a wealth of information on the kinds of actions the New Mobe and other groups performed in order to voice their opposition to the draft and to the war. Light wear to the poster's surface four pieces of masking tape on the poster's verso these were likely applied to the verso shortly after the poster was printed.
