Object
Lafayette Park Oak-Tag Placard
A stiff oak‑tag sheet converted into a handheld protest placard: rigid, manila‑toned poster board roughly poster-sized, often hand-lettered with marker ink and creased from transport. Carried and waved by demonstrators, it reads as grassroots paraphernalia — quickly lettered, scuffed at the edges, and photographed by press. Characters register it as evidence of a demonstration rather than inspect its wording; its presence punctuates corridors and briefings as a visual prompt.

Purpose
To serve as a rigid backing for hand-lettered protest messages — a portable placard used by demonstrators to display slogans and grievances.
Significance
Functions as tangible proof of a grassroots protest that draws media attention and fuels the briefing-room framing battle. The oak‑tag placards become shorthand for the demonstration C.J. must reframe and for the press responsibility Danny is accused of amplifying.
