On this day in 1969: Millions marched in US Vietnam Moratorium

Power to the People!

Americans took part in peace initiatives across the United States to protest against the continuing war in Vietnam.
The Peace Moratorium was believed to have been the largest demonstration in US history with an estimated two million people involved.
In towns and cities throughout the US, students, working men and women, school children, the young and the old, took part in religious services, school seminars, street rallies and meetings.
Supporters of the Vietnam Moratorium wore black armbands to signify their dissent and paid tribute to American personnel killed in the war since 1961.
The focal point was the capital, Washington DC, where more than 40 different activities were planned and about 250,000 demonstrators gathered to make their voices heard.
