Tolerance Posters

In commemoration of Veterans Day, November 11th, the University of Delaware has decorated The Green with American flags. Together with   the Tolerance Poster Show—"Tolerance on the Green" , it creates quite a striking and powerful scene.  "Tolerance on the Green" opened on The Green at the University of Delaware on November 1st and will be on display until November 30th. 

I am very happy to announce that we will have a one-day pop-up Tolerance Poster Show at Times Square in NYC.

On top of that, this Tolerance poster is sharing the spread with one of my favourite posters of Seymour's, Protest Against The Rising Tide of Conformity . I am obviously not the only one with that opinion. In 1964, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez decided to take a few pictures in front of that poster.
