Item Description
16.5X22.5” large sheet probably from The YIPster Times. Paper is tanned with small edge chips top and bottom but only one tear going in 2.5”. One side announces “Light Up/Free Pot/May 6/11th Annual Yippie!/Smoke In/New Wave Music/Gather In Washington Square Park/March Up 5th Ave./To Central Park.” Tiny text below “A Series Of Events Including Wash. DC July 1-4 & Ending In The Chicago Festival Of Life “10 Years Later” Aug. 27-29.” Opposite side has illustration version of Kent State iconic Pulitzer Prize photo by John Filo of Mary Ann Vecchio over the body of Jeffrey Miller. Lower corners each read “Yippie!” and top text is “Each Year The Shadow Grows Longer…”. Lower text refers to a second Kent State victim’s claim for damages trial and thus the headline “James A Rhodes’ War Crimes Tribunal/Concert May 3 – Memorial May 4/Kent State University” with smaller text: “Gov. James A. Rhodes Ordered Kent & Other Massacres. He’s Still Governor, For Info On How To Make A Change/Write: Conliff For Governor, Box 8234, Columbus, O.” plus phone numbers. Rhodes was running for re-election in 1978 and Conliff is Steven Conliff, a Native American writer, social satirist and political activist in the 1960s and 1970s. He is largely remembered for throwing a banana cream pie at Gov. Rhodes in 1977 at the opening of the Ohio State Fair. He was also a leader of the Yippies’ second wave and was the transatlantic coordinator of the 1979 Rock Against Racism USA campaign. From the Marshall Levin Collection with tiny pencil “Apr-May” in one corner. The sheet was probably a two page center spread as there is a light center crease as issued with lay out obviously intended for removal from the paper for use as a poster. A rare survivor of the era.
