Anti-War Movement

About the anti-war movement
The anti-war movement were complaints and statements towards the Vietnam war. Many were protesters. Protesters would walk streets and hold up signs to demote war. The people were also named "hippies" or "war doves". The most famous moment in the movement, May 4th 1970, was the students of Kent State. A loud noise spooked the guards and began open firing to the crowd. 4 were killed while 10 were injured.

Protest Crowds

4 Dead
This picture is linked to an incident at a school with a crowd of protesters. A loud noise went off and scared the guards into shooting at the students.
Get Out Of Vietnam
Banners, like this, say to get soldiers out of Vietnam and out of the war.
Not Going Anywhere
Protesters would stay where they were most of the time, promoting their statement.
Resist The Draft
Drafting meant people going to war, the protesters are trying to tell others to not sign up.
The Peace Sign
Of course, no peaceful protest would be complete without the peace sign itself. Here it's drawn and written on the wall.
The Dove
The dove was also a symbol of peace for the movement.
