Growing Antiwar Protests in the United States

The National Coordinating Committee to End the War in Vietnam helps sponsor the “Second International Days of Protest” in the United States. This results in protest marches on March 25 and 26 in about 100 American cities and in several places outside the United States. While antiwar sentiment has led to several demonstrations of different sizes throughout the past few years, these protests far exceed previous ones—attracting approximately 100,000 people—and gain national media attention.¹
