Vietnam protest
Draft card burning
Vietnam protest refers to demonstrations against U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, particularly during the 1960s and early 1970s.
These protests ranged from campus sit-ins to massive marches on Washington, becoming defining events of a generation.
The term now serves as a touchstone for anti-war activism generally: The Iraq War rallies echoed the Vietnam protests.
