The top of the poster reads, "Livingtson Labor Studies Association Presents the Second Annual Labor Music Festival Dedicated to the J.P. Stevens and United Farmworkers Boycott Struggles." Below is the program listing and ticket information. Along the bottom is "Thursday, April 28, 1977 Tillet Main Lounge/ Co-Sponsored by Livingston Student Chamber."

The successful 1976-1980 national boycott of textile products made by J.P. Stevens was a major labor campaign involving community support, much like the United Farm Worker boycotts of lettuce and grapes. [LMC]
