EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative handbill, issued by the Committee of 100 in either 1961 or 1962, calls on the public to join the mass resistance movement against nuclear weapons. The Committee of 100 was a pacifist organization that emerged in response to the growing threat of nuclear war during the Cold War era. The group believed that mass nonviolent resistance was the most effective way to bring about change and prevent the devastating consequences of nuclear war. The image on the handbill features a powerful and symbolic design, with a crowd of people holding hands and forming a human chain, symbolizing unity and solidarity in the face of a common enemy. The words "Mass Resistance" are boldly emblazoned across the top, while the date and the invitation to "Join us in this historic endeavor" are prominently displayed below. The back of the handbill provides more details about the Committee of 100 and its goals, including the organization's commitment to nonviolent resistance and its belief that "the only way to prevent war is to make war unthinkable." The handbill also includes information about upcoming events and meetings, encouraging people to get involved and take action. This handbill is a powerful reminder of a pivotal moment in history, when citizens from all walks of life came together to demand peace and resist the threat of nuclear war. It is a testament to the power of grassroots activism and the enduring belief that ordinary people can make a difference in the world.
