Snapshot: Vietnam war protest

The News & Record has two main resources for old photos: A closet full of negatives and filing cabinets that hold mostly black-and-white prints. They are a gold mine for the historical, comical and just plain unusual moments in Greensboro’s history.

Each weekday in August, I’ll share a snap from the vault. There’s no rhyme or reason to the selections — they’re just photos that caught my eye. If you know more about what’s pictured, please share the details in the comments or e-mail me at michael.grossman@news-record.com.

People across the country took to the streets on Oct. 15, 1969, for Vietnam Moratorium Day to protest U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Events were held across Greensboro, including this one at the intersection of North Elm Street and South Park Drive in the Fisher Park area.
