"(March 16, 1968) Mass killing of as many as 500 unarmed
villagers by U.S. soldiers in the hamlet of My Lai during the
Vietnam War. A company of U.S. soldiers on a search-and-
destroy mission against the hamlet found no armed Viet Cong
there but nonetheless killed all the elderly men, women, and
children they could find; few villagers survived".

I created the image out of hand drawn type, and decided to
use white throughout the poster, causing the splattered blood
to be a powerful focal point on the design. The white ribbon
symbolized peace, innocence and right to life. But on March
16, 1968, blood covered the innocent villagers of My Lai.
