11/15/1969 "500,000+ protesters march in DC, Anti-Vietnam War Moratorium"




Curious if we have any DUers who were at that massive protest.
I see 100,000 Belarusians marching again on the 50th day of protesting their govt, & thought of the size of the one in 1969 on Penns Ave in DC.


More 60's protests against the direction our gov't was leading our country:

Wore a lot of green in those days and was on what was, for me, the wrong side of that protest.

It was huge. It ended in Golden Gate park where Leonard Nimoy spoke. It was my 21st birthday.
