Cleveland, the Vietnam War and the Antiwar Movement: The Beginnings from Inner-city Protest to Resistance, 1960-1968

Gleason, John Joseph

Abstract Details

2016, Master of Liberal Studies, University of Toledo, Liberal Studies.
The overall configuration of the antiwar movement will be explained through a local study of Cleveland, Ohio as this was an important center for the movement's genesis and of antiwar activity. The historical beginnings of the war will be covered while outlining how, why, when and where the movement against it developed. Northeast Ohio had strong cultural and active liberal campuses at the time, which organized the first formal antiwar conference protest meetings in 1966. The organizational conferences in Cleveland led to the first massive antiwar protest demonstration in New York City and San Francisco on April 15, 1967, and from that day changed the direction of the United States war policy in Vietnam.
