Hell No! Nobody Goes!! End the War! [Stop the Draft Week Portfolio Photo Collection]
- Palo Alto, CA: Midpeninsula Observer, 1967
This protest was among the earliest organized by the Anti-War Movement in opposition to the Vietnam War. On October 16, 3,000 protestors marched to the Oakland Army Induction center, staging a sit-in, and by the third day, their numbers swelled to 10,000. On October 20th, the police attacked the protestors with nightsticks in order to unblock the streets, injuring 20 and arresting 40, including folk-singer Joan Baez. The event's organizers would become known as the Oakland Seven, and were brought up on charges of conspiracy to trespass, commit a public nuisance, and resist, delay, and obstruct police officers. This portfolio was issued as a fundraiser for the Oakland Seven, who were ultimately acquitted in March, 1969.
