EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print "Meanwhile back on the home front. To Lyndon Johnson, with Best Wishes. Cartoon by Gene Basset, 1965" could be: This powerful cartoon by Gene Basset, created in 1965 during the Vietnam War, captures the sentiment of many Americans at that time. The image depicts President Lyndon Johnson being kicked by a protester while carrying a sign that reads "Fight". With his beard and middle America attire, the protester represents the voice of dissent against American involvement in Vietnam. Basset's cartoon reflects the growing anti-war movement and criticism towards President Johnson's political acts during this tumultuous period. It symbolizes how public opinion was divided between those who supported military action and those who opposed it. The cartoon also highlights the Cold War context in which these events unfolded. As tensions escalated between superpowers, such as America and Russia, over ideological differences, Vietnam became a battleground for their proxy war. In presenting this artwork to President Johnson with best wishes, Basset sends a clear message about his stance on the war. This piece serves as both a critique of American foreign policy decisions and an expression of solidarity with those protesting against them. Decades later, this historical artifact continues to remind us of one of America's most controversial conflicts and its impact on society at home.
