Anti-war stories and photos

Here are some
more videos from TV news at that time. While mostly pro-war and never objective
or presenting an in depth or analytical coverage from the anti-war point of
view, watching these videos so many years later, the essence still comes
through.
- 1967 April 15, Anti-war
Demonstration in New York City. CANLF shown gathering at 0:50 and marching
later. (This shows our 40' display in Central Park, to
gather the Revolutionary Contingent groups that later marched with the
flags of all the Liberation Movements to the UN.)
- 1967
Anti-War Demonstration at the Pentagon. Video of the Pentagon
Demonstration.
- Nguyen Van

and patriot of both Vietnam and his adopted country, the USA. He was t he first Vietnamese-American to give a speech
at a major anti-war Demonstration at the Lincoln Memorial on October 21,
1967, the Pentagon Demonstration. Biographical materials and photos.
- 1969 Film
Showing of Vietnamese films in NYC. Walter interviewed. [Better and bigger version on Youtube] Feb. 15
& 16, 1969 at the Alternate U. in NYC. The feature film was "The
Rising Storm" about a brother and sister on opposite sides of the
liberation struggle. Film disappeared when mailed back with name showing!
Other films were taken by RU and supposedly later donated to a University.

- May Day
Demonstrations May 1-3, 1971. First time the pacifists and more militant
demonstrators joined in civil disobedience and led to briefly shutting
down the government function in Washington, DC and the largest
mass arrests in US history. More than
12,000 people arrested over the days of this demonstration. Keep in mind
that much of what happened to organize and carry out these demonstrations
have yet to be written. Do a
Google search. I will add more in the coming
days. Also, see Walter's
Draft comments on this May Day Demonstrations.
