A poster advertising the documentary film No Vietnamese Ever Called Me Nigger as available for rent by the National Student Association. The film chronicled the 1967 Harlem Fall Mobilization March. One side of the poster features a design by Milton Glaser. The design has a bright orange-red background and features a black-and-white photographic image of a child wearing a straw hat, holding a large piece of watermelon. The image has been torn in two and separated to reveal a larger, two-tone partially abstract image of a boy against a yellow rectangular background. At bottom left corner of the watermelon image is [MILTON GLASER], at bottom right corner of the image is [COPYRIGHT, 1903, BY M/ TOOBIN]. Below the images is [First Prize Mannheim Film Festival] and then, in larger print, [A Film by David Loeb Weiss / Produced by Paradigm Films].
