1967 March on the Pentagon

The March on the Pentagon in October 1967 was a large protest against the Vietnam War. Thousands of demonstrators—including veterans, students, and activists—gathered near Washington, D.C., to express anti-war sentiments and urge the U.S. government to end military involvement in Vietnam. The event combined peaceful demonstrations with some clashes with authorities, and it symbolized widespread public opposition to the war and the government's policies. It played a significant role in boosting anti-war activism and highlighting the growing divisions within American society over Vietnam.
