New York: The Resistance, 1968. Single sided flyer, 8 ½ x 11, fine condition. Fine.. A flyer for a protest at the Newark Selective Service Building organized by The Resistance on May 6, 1968. The bulk of the flyer reproduces the poem “I sing of Olaf glad and big” by e.e. cummings, a poem themed around a conscientious objector. The flyer, printed by The Resistance, describes C.J. Hinke’s public refusal to register. Hinke was known for documenting and supporting conscientious objectors, promoting nonviolent resistance, and connecting American antiwar activism to global pacifist networks. The Newark action reflected strategies that aligned closely with his outlook: refusal of military service, public challenge to conscription systems, and solidarity with those facing prosecution for draft resistance.
