Peace: Let's Get It Together 1971 Pin

On August 6, 1945, a U.S. B-29 dropped the atomic bomb named 'Little Boy' on Hiroshima. Three days later, a second bomb named 'Fat Man' was dropped on the city of Nagasaki. After the world witnessed the raw power of atomic weapons that ended WWII, humanity stood silent. Calls to ban them began to grow during the Cold War era, and by the 1960s, 'ban the bomb' protests were frequently held throughout the world. These morphed into general calls for peace in the early '70s as the Vietnam War waged on, and designs like this one calling for people to 'get it together' and love one another were a common sight.
