One of many antiwar demonstration on campus before the uprising and building
occupations. These continued until the end of the war in 1975. Large
contingents from the area also chartered buses to even larger demonstrations
in Washington DC. During the Vietnam war, students were much more engaged
than today because of the military draft. Even though there were student
deferments, everybody was affected; if we weren't drafted ourselves, our
family and friends were. More than 20 students from my high school were
killed in Vietnam. Once the draft was abolished in 1975, the US found it
could attack as many other countries as it wished without domestic
blowback.
