The lower right fist with peace sign - that was the emblem on the shirt of the “guy with the mike” at the atlanta OWS site, when they denied John Lewis a speaking opportunity. The only difference was that it was on a red background.
Do you know its origin?
TIA

The clenched fist sign was popularized in the 1930s as a Communist/leftist counterpoint to Mussolini's stiff armed "Roman salute", which the Nazis adopted in their "Heil Hitler" salute. You can see pictures of Stalin giving the clenched fist sign at public ceremonies starting in the 1930s.
There may have been some earlier manifestations of the "clenched fist" salute, but I am not aware of any.

I also noticed that V-fist on the cult leader at the Atlanta rally. I don’t know what it means, other than guessing.
