We will be free... Karl Armstrong for D.A. [poster]

[Madison, WI?], 1972. Poster. 17x22.5 inch poster, neatly creased from having been folded into quarters. Formerly from the collection of J. Wesley Miller, with his rubberstamp and penned signature on the blank verso. Date of November 2, 1972 penned below "institutions." Facetious endorsement of Karleton Armstrong for District Attorney. He was the oldest of the bombers who targeted the Army Math Research Center (AMRC) at UW-Madison in 1970 to protest the Vietnam War. After the bombing, Armstrong went into hiding for 18 months until his capture in Toronto in 1972. This poster was issued after his arrest, quoting him as saying that "We see the AMRC blast as more than just the destruction of one building. We see it as part of a world-wide struggle to defeat Amerikan imperialism. And there could be no greater support for me than renewed attacks on these institutions.
