A protest banner is a sign with some kind of brief but (usually) witty or thought provoking statement printed on it.
These are taken to political rallies or events and held aloft to alert others to your particular cause or reason for protesting.
Traditionally these are very short term signs and simply created with cardboard and paint and attached to a stick, however sometimes a larger graphic that might be hung from a bridge or attached to a building for a long term protest can be custom created at a local wide format printer, or created yourself at an online design tool. You can either design the graphic online there or create the graphic in Photoshop (or something similar) and upload it.
If you are planning on creating a protest banner, make sure you have others proof-read it since it kind of hurts your cause if there's a glaring spelling mistake on it.

What was the target of students protests in 1989?
Students, like many teenagers, need to "protest" something; it's part of the "growing pains." They don't really have a "real need" to protest now...because they're NOT AT RISK OF BEING DRAFTED INTO THE MILITARY AND GETTING KILLED OR HAVING THEIR ARMS AND LEGS BLOWN OFF! Like they were during the Vietnam War. Those "students" had a need to "protest", they had DRAFT CARDS in their hands (which they often burned during their protests). Today's students don't have draft cards to burn. The only major event that occurred in '89 was Operation Just Cause, the invasion of Panama; and the Berlin Wall came down.
