Further background: via Excerpt from reverse side:
“PRO PEACE IS...
Pro Peace is a non-profit, non-partisan, citizens' action movement dedicated to global nuclear disarmament. As citizens of the world, we have an obligation to ourselves, "our children and our planet to end the threat of nuclear war. Pro Peace was born from an idea: 5,000 people walking across the United States for peace.
THE GREAT PEACE MARCH IS...
The Great Peace March is an idea which will inspire the world. On March 1, 1986, 5,000 people will begin a 9-month march for peace from Los Angeles through the Mojave Desert, over Colorado's 12,000-foot Loveland Pass, across the Great Plains to New York, culminating in our nation's capital 3,235 miles and 255 days later. In Washington, D.C., with one voice, in the spirit of peace, we will call upon our leaders to make global nuclear disarmament a reality and inspire other citizens of the world to change the course of history.”

Keith Haring rose to prominence in 1980s New York within the East Village art scene alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, and Jenny Holzer. Haring bridged the gap between the art world and the street, graffiting city subways and sidewalks before committing to a studio practice. His major themes included exploitation, subjugation, drug abuse, and the threat of nuclear holocaust; Haring boldly engaged with social issues, especially after receiving an AIDS diagnosis in 1987. Today, his work sells for seven figures at auction and has been the subject of solo shows at the Brooklyn Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Albertina Museum in Vienna, among other major institutions.

Keith Haring
Keith Haring began experimenting with his bold, graphic lines and cartoon-inspired figures on the walls of New York City subway stations in the early 1980s. He called them his “laboratory,” places to develop a radical new aesthetic based on an ideology of creating truly democratic public art.
Haring’s paintings, prints and murals address the universal themes of death, love and sex, as well as contemporary issues he experienced personally, like the crack-cocaine and AIDS epidemics. They derive much of their impact from the powerful contrast between these serious subjects and the joyful, vibrant pictographic language he uses to express them, full of dancing figures, babies, barking dogs, hearts and rhythmic lines, as well as references to pop culture.
To make his art even more accessible, in 1986, Haring opened the Pop Shop in Soho. In a foreshadowing of today’s intermingling of art and fashion, the shop sold merchandise and novelty items featuring imagery by Haring and contemporaries like Kenny Scharf and Jean-Michel Basquiat. While his works sometimes included text, for the most part, he chose to communicate through drawing.
“Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times,” Haring once declared. “It lives through magic.”
