“September 1978 was a particularly bloody month in the Nicaraguan insurrection. The text on the poster along each bullet hole reads ”Your Papa was a good son /Your Papa played the guitar / Your Papa was a good husband." The insurrectionary war that brought down a fifty-year dictatorship in Nicaragua and put the Sandinistas in power in 1979 took thousands of lives, many of them civilians."
from Milton Glaser and Mirko Ilic, The Design of Dissent, Gloucester, MA: 2004, p186.
