People's Poster Collector
| J. Wesley Miller posing with some of the campus street posters and handouts he collected. Mayor Soglin, Toby Emmer, Richard Nixon, Melvin Laird and Angela Davis are a few of the people portrayed in the posters. In 1973, he handed over 17,000 artifacts, including buttons, handouts, picket signs, posters and photos of messages sprayed on campus walls to the Wisconsin Historical Society. The collection was dated from the Fall War Moratorium, September 1970 to Election Day, 1972. Today the collection is known as "Madison People's Poster and Propaganda Collection." He collected the items on his way to and from classes at the University of Wisconsin. He dated each piece on the back giving Wisconsin a complete "representative history" of the University of Wisconsin-Madison's most turbulent times. |
