WHY I CHOSE THIS TOPIC
I chose this topic because it was the one i knew the less about. I know about the civil rights and Martin Luther king where they want to be treated equal. I also wanted to learn more about people not wanting war or any violence. They people tried to get the U.S to stop the violence but it didn't work we already started a war with North Vietnam. We as America lost the war so we shouldn't have went to war. I also wanted to learn more about Kent state. Kent state kinda relates to today in some terms we still have shootings we just had one the other day killing 14 people and injuring 21. I'm glad i chose this topic because it helped me understand more about the Vietnam war and anti war movement.
