Poster advertising talk by Robert F. Kennedy
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of an undated poster advertising that U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy will speak in the Britt Ballroom at 10:00 AM the upcoming Sunday. The Britt Ballroom may refer to a facility at Southern Oregon College (now Southern Oregon University) in Ashland, Oregon. Because the poster does not provide an exact date, it is unknown whether it was made in the spring of 1968, when Kennedy was campaigning for the Oregon Democratic primary for U.S. president, or earlier.
