Hundreds Protest Viet Nam Policies Across States
In Washington about 600 people rallied four hours near the White House to protest Vietnam policy as part of a four day assembly of antiwar participants. In Emeryville California roughly 300 pickets blocked a troop train, while over 100 Indiana University students marched downtown Bloomington with antiwar signs. The Washington march planned to end at the Capitol, and a 100 member delegation failed to present a conscience declaration to President Johnson. There were two arrests as sit ins continued into night. Johnson and his wife spent much of the evening at Camp David. Joan Baez performed during the rallies.
