Johnson visit sparks student walkout at Williams College
About 75 students walked out of Chapin Hall as First Lady Lady Bird Johnson spoke at Williams College convocation launching the center for environmental studies. Another 75 staged a silent antiwar protest while 60 senior students wore armbands. Leaflets urged opposition to the war and questioned administration. Johnson called the era one of difficulty and spoke on whether America’s physical setting would be pleasant or squalid.
