Vietnam Moratorium

1) What further questions/comments do you have about this historical event?
I think that the policeman just used the excuse that there was one guy that took a 6 pack from a liquor store and ran towards the park were they were protesting to just go and ruin their protest. I think that was really sad because they shouldn't be treated like that! :(


2) One African American veteran said of his experience in Vietnam, "Why should I come over here when some of the South Vietnamese live better than my own people back in the States". What do you think he meant by this?
I think he tried to say that since he wasn't treated good there why was he still there helping them if they treated him worse than his own place.


3) What issues do you believe should be marched for today (perhaps similar issues that were marched for in 1970)?
I think that the issues that should be marched today is that how come high class people have good money if they don't really work for it, and mexicans that do everything get paid less money for their hard work.


4) BONUS: For the girls who attended the forum, please reflect on your experience. What did you think of the speakers and/or film? What further questions do you have? What feelings did you leave with?
