It was the awakening of a new social consciousness. Around charismatic leaders, the Civil Rights Movement organized walks and protest events against racial segregation. Protests movements , coming from all sides, expressed themselves with strength and originality. The Women’s Rights Movement and the NARAL made abortion rights the most essential of their demands. As in other big American cities, protests followed one after another in New York. Henri Dauman always seized these moments, in which the “Empire” was called into question, from the same point of view: in terms of the relationship between expression and graphic sign.
