John Lennon and Yoko Ono took sit-ins to the next level with their 1969 “bed-in” in Canada. Using their marriage to promote world peace, the couple stayed together in their bed in Montreal for one week. Hanging on their window were signs reading, “Hair Peace,” and “Bed Peace.”

While in bed together, Lennon and Ono recorded the song, “Give Peace a Chance.” An image of them laying in bed together has become iconic as a representation of the late 1960s peace movement.
