The 1-2-3 Go Club is a reference to a club created in the third season of the television program Our Gang which aired in 1941. Our Gang featured a cast of rambunctious children also were known by and had films under the titles The Little Rascals. Our Gang began as a series of silent films with piano accompaniment in 1922. Created by Hal Roach, the series of short silent films became popular and drew audiences to the theaters. The characters continued on into the "talkies" (films with sound), and eventually television. The 1-2-3 Go Club was featured in an episode that focused on traffic safety and care in crossing the street, after a member of the gang was struck by a car.

The Fifth Avenue Vietnam Peace Parade Committee was a consortium of multiple organizations that were advocating for peace and an end to the Vietnam War in the mid 1960s. The March 26, 1966 protest was conducted not just in New York City but—which had protesters numbering over 20,000—across the United States. According to the New York Times, protests in Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Detroit, Washington, and many other cities spanning the nation occurred the same day. 

There were a number of protests for peace, including rallies and sit ins, throughout the duration of the Vietnam War. The anti-war movement was bolstered by college students, but had broader reach due to the unpopularity of the draft, which impacted approximately 40,000 men each month. Protests increased as the war continued, including in Washington, D.C. at the Capital building and outside the White House. The Vietnam War ended in a cease-fire in 1973 after massive public outcry and anti-war sentiment, with long lasting harm to the Vietnamese people and to American veterans.
