Antiwar Rally Led by Hart and Berrigan in D C
Washington awaited a large antiwar rally for Nixon's second inauguration with Sen. Philip Hart and Rev. Philip Berrigan as lead speakers. Organizers said talks on Viet Nam cease fire and halting North Vietnam bombing would not dampen enthusiasm, with more than 30 Congress members backing the demonstrations. About 1,000 volunteer marshals would maintain order on the Washington Monument grounds as tens of thousands are expected to attend from across the country.
