Vietnam War Demonstration Draws Varied Protesters
The Lincoln Memorial crowds included a small counter demonstration near 25 people surrounded by police. A Georgetown medical student urged victory through negotiation, while a Plattsburg State College student noted few Black protesters and hoped the movement would grow. At the Pentagon, police blocked entry as thousands marched, some protesters breached the mall doors, and troops and tear gas were used before the scene quieted by night.
