It's not photoshopped. The woman's son used the original photo to recreate the sign.

It seems like the same things we marched against, protested against and railed against then are STILL being marched against, protested against and railed about now. My faith in people is at an all time low I must admit.

Duffy said that after her son saw her at one of the events, it occurred to him to recreate the Pittsburgh Press' Nixon protest photo, which the family had kept in a scrapbook. (PennLive asked for and was shown a copy of the original photo as published in August of 1974.)
"I actually reproduced the sign using a projector and tracing the original onto the new sign," Twyman told PennLive.
The resulting before-and-after photo was posted by Twyman online two weeks ago and has been widely shared since.

In addition to duplicating the earlier sign, Twyman said the recreation process involved convincing his mother to mimic the stony expression she had in the first photo.
"She's not in any way a sour woman, she was just in a bad mood that day for some reason. When we redid the photo, I said, 'You gotta look pissed, mom," Twyman recalled.
He said she agreed, adding, "she was all for it."
