Default day of silence posters

hey guys!
im in the process of making day of silence posters to hold outside of school on dos (well duh itd be that day haha) historically we have done tribute type posters to specific people silenced by lgbt bullying. more of these are needed so do any of you know any good links to aquire these stories (particularly the less-commonly known ones) and does anyone have any ideas for a different type of poster? all suggestions are greatly appreciated

for "different type" you could make a slightly more obscure reference by changing up the text and recycling one of those WWII posters where they urged people not to talk because they lead to spilled secrets and recognaissance for the enemy.
