About this drawing

Peace graffiti letters and the V-sign hand go together naturally, but that two-finger gesture has not always meant peace. Its story is a great reminder that symbols can change their meaning over time.

During World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill made the V sign famous as a symbol of victory. About two decades later, young Americans protesting the Vietnam War flashed the very same gesture to call for peace, and by the late 1960s it had become one of the best-known peace signs in the world.

Flowers joined the message in the same era. Anti-war protesters handed out flowers and even slipped them into soldiers' rifles, and the phrase flower power was born. That is why bright blooms, rainbow colors and the word Peace still show up together on posters, T-shirts and murals.

Graffiti-style lettering also connects to street art, where bold words are used to share a message with a whole neighborhood. Ask kids what peace means to them and what new symbol they would create to stand for kindness. It is also a chance to explain that one gesture can mean different things in different places and times.
