On May 28, 1966, activities against the Vietnam War occurred across the United States
On this day, 59 years ago, May 28, 1966 (April 9, 1966 in the lunar calendar), activities against the Vietnam War took place across the United States. It is not just young people who are fighting the war. On May 28, 1966, students organized pickets, marches, sang hymns and sometimes rioted on American campuses; on the White House lawn, moderate protesters urged the president to "cool down"; in Saigon, Buddhists set themselves on fire; in the offices of a weapons contracting company, dozens of people condemned the production and use of napalm; At a time when the United States is killing a record number in Vietnam, the anti-war movement seems to be growing violently everywhere in a variety of expressions. About 350 students at the University of Chicago took charge of office buildings to protest college cooperation in elective military service. Similar demonstrations took place at the City College of New York, which hindered the college's activities. Thousands of students are looking for ways to delay their recruitment. 8000 "intellectuals" gathered in Washington to oppose what many call an "unwinnable war." A group of 75 protesters shouted in front of Dow Chemical's headquarters: "The Nazis used ovens in 1944, the United States used solid gasoline bombs in 1966!"
