[Banner For a Vigilia For Peace With Justice].

[San Antonio, Texas?]: [circa 1960s-1970s?]. 43” x 110”. Cloth banner. Very good: some wear and light stains to edges; many creases from folding.

This is a cloth banner that shouts, “Vigilia for Peace with Justice.” It is three and half feet tall and over nine feet long. It is bright and vivid, featuring examples of Aztec art in the form of black and white shapes along one long border and a large color illustration of a bird. We obtained the banner from an estate in San Antonio, Texas, and were told that it had been used during a protest or march in that city. While we found digitized newspaper accounts of several possible events (most between 1967 and 1971), we can not be certain that this banner was used at any of them in particular.

A striking example of what we believe to be a piece of Latino/a American history in San Antonio, worthy of further research. Very good. Item #6745
