There is a classic 60s photo - and I cannot for the life of me remember
the name of the photographer, but the name is not a household one - of
the front of a line of march with a mass of those signs. There was a BIG
print of it for sale at a charity photo auction my daughter and I went
to last year and it was the one image in the show we both said we wanted
- it went, of course, for somewhere just south of $2K and, also of
course, did not go home with us. :-)

I remember those signs well, BD, and I would have sworn I had some shots
of them, but I don't see anything on the negs.  I'm going to look again
because I'd really like to find a shot of one.
