$125

A pair of pins from the march on the Pentagon to protest the war in Vietnam in 1967. Printed by the Fifth Ave Vietnam Peace Parade Committee, the pins promote not just the march, but an attemt to levitate the Pentagon and “exorcise the evil within,” organized by Allen Ginsberg, Ed Sanders, Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. The levitation stunt was a precursor to the theatrical activism and politicisation of the hippie movement by the Yippies, the group founded by Hoffman and Rubin later in 1967.
