Make Love Not War - Peaceful Protest Art & Historical Symbolism #3502236 (License: Personal Use)

The image features a smiling woman with blonde hair and green earrings holding two contrasting signs. On the left, Uncle Sam in his classic top hat and red bowtie points forward with the bold text “I WANT YOU,” evoking U.S. military recruitment posters. On the right, a clean white sign declares “MAKE ❤️ NOT WAR!” in navy blue letters with a red heart replacing “LOVE,” signed “MARTIN” at the bottom. This visual contrast highlights the tension between militarism and anti-war sentiment, especially resonant during the 1960s counterculture movement.

Commonly used in educational resources, history blogs, or peace advocacy sites to illustrate Cold War-era protests, Vietnam War opposition, or comparative analysis of propaganda and counter-propaganda. Matches user intent for historical symbolism, social movements, or classroom teaching materials.
