Bottom of the poster reads, "I am in Vietname who will console me? Iam terrified of bombs of cold wet leaves and bamboo splinter in my feet, of a bullet cracking through the trees, across the world, killing me- there is a bullet in my eyes, so that all i see is pain. i am in vietnam who will console me? from the six o clock news, from the headlines lurking on the street between the angry lovesong, on the eradio, from the frightened hawks and angry doves i meet a war i will not fight is killing me- i am in vietnam- who will console me? Sister Mary Corita Kent was a social justice artist and a Sister of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. She ran the Art Department at Immaculate Heart College until 1968 when she left the Order and moved to Boston. [LMC]
