Abstract

Stuffed props resembling people labeled "Business men" sit at a table, with a sign marked "Businessmans SPECIAL: Lunch- Vietnamese Baby deep-fried napalm, Barbecue or Roast with vegetable and Potatoe $2.50 (CHEAP) A modest Proposal". They sit outside of Science Hall at the University of Denver (DU) as part of a multi-day Vietnam War protest nicknamed "Woodstock West" that took place both on the DU campus and downtown Denver, Colorado. Protesters mourn the killings of four students on the Kent State University campus days earlier.
