The upheavals and social disturbances that characterized the 1960s, clashes of generations, races, genders, cultural values, and political beliefs, appeared to have no end. Slogans from the movements became rallying cries: Yippie, Women's Lib, Silent Majority, Black Power, States' Rights, Make Love Not War, Generation Gap, and No Grapes. Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Ben Sargent, who drew the iconic portrayal of the struggles between the movements, describes what visitors will see as the final image of the new exhibit, 'From all the vast cast of characters on the political stage of the '60s, we picked a few from the left and from the right who epitomized the highly energized public discourse of those revolutionary days, tugging on the flag whose American principles both sides thought they were fighting to preserve.'
