Workshop in Nonviolence (WIN) activists dubbed the day "Flower Power Day" as a counter to the military celebration. Poster design features stylized psychedelic text surrounding cartoonishly illustrated artillery filled with flowers, decorated with various symbols of peace. Black ink on green background.
