April 15, 1970 'Not So Silent Spring' Peace March Celluloid Pin

This is a "Not So Silent Spring" peace march pin from April 15, 1970. The pin is borrowing from the title of the 1962 work by Rachel Carson entitled "Silent Spring", in which she alerted the world to the dangers of pesticides and chemicals. The peace marches happened at colleges around the nation, many ending in violence. In Boston the march encompassed the campuses of Boston University, Harvard and Northeastern and Boston Common. The pin is in bright red, yellow and green celluloid and has a great graphic of a hand holding a small branch.

Circa 1970.

Approximately 1-11/16" in diameter.
