Remembering Vietnam, Renewing Struggle

A commemoration and march on the 50th anniversary of the first national protest against the Vietnam War will be held over April 29- May 2 in Washington DC. The SDS-sponsored march on April 17, 1965, was the largest peace march in American history to that point, according to the historian Kirkpatrick Sale. It came during an American Spring of teach-ins on hundreds of campuses, the first draft resistance, and even larger protests that November.
