Scope and content
Item is the ninth of 14 photographs taken during a Halifax anti-war demonstration marking the 15 November 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam. The sign held by Will Offley, who was a well-known student radical (one of a small group of students who occupied the President's office on April 13–14, 1970), appears to have been produced or at least endorsed by the Dalhousie New Democratic Youth, and Stephen Archibald points out this transition from the very personal signs of earlier protests. He also notes the star armband worn by the figure in the foreground, probably a symbol of the NLF.
