00:01:00.000 - 00:01:18.140

One, two, three, four! Asians are against the war! Uncle Sam wants your soul! And the body!

00:01:29.700 - 00:02:13.260

Power to the people. [Chanting] Police, stay! You are now...

00:02:34.060 - 00:02:47.260

Well, please keep the line moving on. Get your sandwich here and move to the end of the table. Did you go? No, I went home.

00:02:56.580 - 00:03:04.300

And tens of thousands of others have not yet left the staging area 15 blocks away. That's a lot of people.

00:03:07.760 - 00:03:23.080

Traffic is backed up 10 miles down the freeway in Washington, D.C. And Nixon is not in town.

00:03:25.700 - 00:03:36.060

Last time it was a football game and this time it was a basketball game. And so... Eileen Hernandez from the

00:03:36.060 - 00:03:43.700

National Organization of Women who will speak to us about the rising movement of women in this country for their liberation

00:03:43.700 - 00:05:57.890

from their oppression from age old... [Music] Are those your people? Hey come on. And we got guys in the helicopter too. I think ours are not till later.

00:05:58.280 - 00:08:37.580

[Music] 25 cents organic... orderly and peaceful demonstration for the immediate withdrawal of troops in Vietnam... Help pay for the rally. Donations gladly accepted. Please support... buy a button, buy a couple of buttons. To argue is a war game. I now appoint you 3-star general...

00:08:48.400 - 00:09:40.880

[Chanting] [Music] ...at the park, right here. We have free food for free power for the people. If you're hungry. This is Mike Mills at the speaker's platform at this anti-war rally.

00:09:40.910 - 00:09:57.030

By mid-afternoon, Third World spokesmen had taken over the platform. A mass exodus has started yet thousands of people remain to hear the speeches. And the speakers all afternoon were talking about peace. In every political election, for every political office,

00:09:57.040 - 00:10:28.210

we must say very clearly to President Nixon, we declare peace in southeast Asia and war on and war on racism, sexism, pollution, poverty, and unemployment in America. We should not get out of this park today thinking we've done our thing. That we've done our thing for this year and we'll be back next year to try again.

00:10:28.340 - 00:10:55.870

I for one will not be back next in any peaceful march. I will only stay outside and continue to do battle against what I consider to be the wrongs and injustices of this society. There's no doubt about it. The government has not seriously concerned itself with peace. Without any doubt, they're trying to prolong the situation. They're trying to engage in what they call an honorable out in Vietnam.

00:10:55.790 - 00:11:31.210

And they can never have a, none of us can have an honorable out in Vietnam. No doubt about it. And the government has to face up to the fact that what is has to do is just say I am through, and get out. The Vietnamese people ... the date withdrawal. That date is now. Women have a date... What caused you to take part in this and hold a sign?

00:11:31.290 - 00:11:52.940

Well, I'm a member of an organization that's against the war, and we intend to finish it if we can. What do you think the effect of demonstrations like these will have? Well, I think it will show people that they shouldn't be afraid to speak out and support their country. Thank you very much. I just saw them out and here and saw that it was "executives," and thought this is where I belong.

00:11:55.020 - 00:12:05.370

Excuse me. You're a business executive? Yes. What do you think of all this? It's the greatest thing that I've been in. All my life. What do you think the effect that demonstrations like these will have? It's going to have an effect. It's going to stop the war.

00:12:05.370 - 00:12:24.260

Will you take part in another of these? Yes. OK thank you. Any time. You're a business executive. What do you think of all this? I think it's marvelous. It's not my first trip to San Francisco and I hope it will be my last because I hope we will never have to do this again. Where are you from? Los Angeles.

00:12:24.460 - 00:12:33.050

You came all the way up here for the demonstration? Yes I did. I came up specifically for it. ... Newspaper publisher. Thank you very much. You're very welcome.
