April 1969: Poster - Coffin Defense Fund benefit
 
 
Yale Chaplain William Sloane Coffin Jr. was indicted in January 1968, along with a number of other activists (incl. Dr. Benjamin Spock), for anti-Vietnam War activities. The YRC invited Theodore Bikel and Yale's Augmented 7 to join in a benefit concert to raise money for the Coffin Defense Fund. Coffin had sung with the YRC in the mid 1950s.
