Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label, verso LC: (Moscow) 10/61 16) LAST LAP OF PEACE WALK TO MOSCOW where Peace Marchers \ had been promised the right to speak and pass out pamphlets for five \ days in Red Square. As they walked through Western Russia, they \ carried signs bearing the emblems of the CNVA and the words : \ (foreground) "We urge all nations to disarm unilaterally" and \ "American-European March - San Francisco to Moscow: An appeal to \ East and West." Such signs had to pass Russian censors before marchers \ could carry them. \ Credit: Brad Lyttle © 1961 MAGNUM Photos
