Oct. 15, 1969, Student Protest Against the Vietnam War
The Connecticut Daily Campus offices were upstairs in the Student Union, so it was a simple matter for me to step outside to take pictures throughout this Vietnam War demonstration that involved hundreds of students. On a personal note, it was my experience that the Black Power protests of the early ’60s and the antiwar protests of the later ’60s caused a coalition of these two movements that addressed some racial divisions. Obviously, this is still a work in progress. But, as I came from a high school in West Haven where in 1965 I didn’t know a single black person, this “integration by protest” was a revelation for me.
