Anti-Vietnam War Protest in DeKalb By NIU Students in 1970

From the April 15, 2020, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1970. 50 Years Ago.

"More than 200 Northern Illinois University students led by the Student Mobilization Committee marched through downtown DeKalb at about 9 p.m. last night to protest the Vietnam War.

"The campus activities are related to the nationwide anti-war week.  The SMC attempted to have the college shut down classes today, but permission was refused.  Students also picketed the draft board office on North Fourth Street yesterday."

I was at Northern Illinois as a freshman living in Lincoln Hall when this happened.
