Issued from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, 8 1/2 Raymond St. Atlanta, GA featuring an image of a Mississippi Highway Patrol Officer w/text "Is He Protecting You?" The image by SNCC staff photographer Danny Lyon was part of a series of five posters featuring his photos that have become iconic images of the era and group.
