Description:
On October 16, 1967, three people were arrested during a massive anti Vietnam War demonstration in front of the Selective Service Headquarters. The arrests were the result of a planned demonstration, the aim of which was “breaking down the effectiveness of the draft.” One of the people arrested had twice tried to gain entrance to the draft records room to seize the records. The protest was followed by another demonstration at the Armed Forces Examining Station at 424 S.W. Taylor.
