> "The/*All Of Us Or None*/ (AOUON) archive project was started by*Free
> Speech Movement activist Michael Rossman* in 1977 to gather and
> document the poster-work of modern progressive movements in the United
> States. Though earlier work is included, its focus is on the domestic
> political poster renaissance, which began in 1965 and continues to
> this day. The Archive gathered posters from all streams of progressive
> activity - from movements of protest, liberation, and affirmative
> action, trade union and community struggles, to electoral and
> environmental organizing, community services, and visionary
> manifestos. Though strongest in work from the San Francisco Bay Area,
> its scope is national: one-quarter of its holdings come from
> out-of-state. These are complemented by an archive of international
> work. The collection consists of approximately 25,000 distinct titles.
> The collection is now part of the Oakland Museum of California."
