My recollection is different, perhaps because I was younger and more idealistic. I remember the protest marches, the flag burnings, the anti war movement quite clearly. I remember the heavy handedness that took place at Kent State. I like to think that the protest movement against Vietnam played some small part in the war ending, even if it took longer than it should have. > > Pick your battles, pick how you try to affect change. > The suggestion of 30 photographers all taking photos of the guards was > great. > It's the kind of guerrilla activity that would stir things up.
