History

Poster has a brown background with blue and white text. The main image is an illustration of a family of three, a mother and two children, hiding in a shelter with planes flying overhead. The poster reads, "Stop The Bombing Of El Salvador/"At first the Air Force dropped bombs that knocked down trees and houses, killed people, and made 3-meter craters. Then they began to drop bombs that exploded before hitting the ground and others that made craters 8 meters deep to kill us as we hid in our shelters. Now they use the worst bombs of all--the flaming liquid [napalm phosphorus] -a refugee as told to the Christian Science Monitor."
