“And Babies?”
The image of the poster was taken at the scene by army photographer Ron Haeberle. The devastating phrase "And babies" came from a news interview with soldier Paul Meadlo, who had participated in the slaughter. Rather than symbolism or metaphor, Art Workers' Coalation used journalistic evidence to convey the horrors of the war the government had kept hidden for more than a year.
Tickets
Woodstock Ticket
Woodstock was designed as a profit-making venture. It became a "free concert" only after the event drew hundreds of thousands more people than the organizers had prepared for. Those without tickets simply walked through gaps in the fences, and the organizers were forced to make the event free of charge. This is one of the one marked at the entrance.
