Viet Nam Shall Win

Viet Nam Shall Win

Anti-Vietnam War Movement

This poster was created by self-taught Cuban artist, Rene Mederos, as a tribute to North Vietnamese leader, Ho Chi Minh, and the Vietnamese people’s struggle against U.S. imperialism. It was published in the U.S. in 1972 by The Glad Day Press, an I.W.W. shop in Ithaca, New York, as a part of a fundraiser for Medical Aid for Indochina. The large text at the top of the poster reads, "Viet Nam". The text below reads, "Shall Win" in 13 different languages. "Mederos - Cuba/71" is in the bottom left corner of the illustration. "Price $2.50. Published by The Glad Day Press, Ithaca, N.Y. All proceeds go to N.Y.C Medical Aid to Indochina, a project of MCHR, 135 w. 4th St., N.Y., N.Y. 10012" is in the right bottom margin.
