When America Said No

About This Story

On October 15, 1969, millions of Americans—students, veterans, clergy, and housewives—take to the streets in the largest anti-war demonstration in U.S. history up to that point, demanding an end to the Vietnam War. The massive, peaceful mobilization forces the Nixon administration to shift policy and demonstrates that opposition to the war has become a mainstream, bipartisan sentiment across the nation.
