About this item

The massive student-led strike against the Vietnam War (1955-1975) in May of 1970 was not restricted to sit-ins, rallies, and other forms of protest. In the middle of the month students, professors, and college administrators from across the country went to Washington D.C. to speak with their Congressmen, hoping to persuade their representatives to become more actively involved in decisions about the United States military operations in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
