HISTORY OF THE COMPANY Another Mother for Peace (AMP) was a grassroots anti-war advocacy group founded in 1967 in opposition to the U.S. war in Vietnam. The inspiration for Another Mother for Peace came out of a child's first birthday in 1967. Barbara Avedon, a former writer for The Donna Reed Show, had invited friends to her southern California home to celebrate the birthday of her son, Josh. Opposed to U.S. military involvement in Vietnam, Avedon expressed her fear that she could be raising her son only to send him off to war. She and others present agreed that they wanted to take some action. Los Angeles artist Lorraine Art Schneider donated the use of a striking illustration for the Mother's Day peace cards - a sunflower on yellow background amid the slogan “War is not healthy for children and other living things." ________________________ Please do not make any assumption about tis item.
