About the poster:
The World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) is an international youth organization founded in London in 1945. After the end of World War Two, its initial anti-fascist platform expanded to include opportunities for exchange between youth of the Western and Eastern blocs, as well as initiatives against apartheid in South Africa.
In the late 1960's, the Vietnam War featured prominently in WFDY's platform. This poster was designed to galvanize global support for the Vietnamese people, calling for "liberty, independence, and peace." It includes photos taken by Japanese photographer Kyoichi Sawada, who won the 1966 Pulitzer Prize for Photography for his work during the Vietnam war.
The poster is in fair condition with folds and some tape marks on the corners. See photos for more details.
